Clinical guidelines recommend immediate initiation of combined antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all HIV-positive individuals. However, those guidelines are based on trials of relatively young participants. We included HIV-positive ART-naïve, AIDS-free individuals aged 50-70 years after 2004 in the HIV-CAUSAL Collaboration. We used the parametric g-formula to estimate the 5-year risk of all-cause and non-AIDS mortality under: i) immediate initiation at baseline, and initiation at CD4 count ii) <500 cells/mm3, and iii) <350 cells/mm3. Results were presented separately for the general HIV population and for a US Veterans cohort with high mortality. The study included 9596 individuals (28% US Veterans) with median [interquantile range] age of 55 [52,60] years and CD4 count 336 [182,513] at baseline. The 5-year risk of all-cause mortality was 0.40% (95% CI 0.10,0.71) lower for the general HIV population and 1.61% (95% CI 0.79,2.67) lower for US Veterans when comparing immediate initiation vs initiation at CD4<350 cells/mm3. The 5-year risk of non-AIDS mortality was 0.17% (95% CI -0.07,0.43) lower for the general HIV population and 1% (95% CI 0.31,2.00) lower for US Veterans when comparing immediate initiation vs initiation at CD4<350 cells/mm3. Immediate initiation appears to reduce all-cause and non-AIDS mortality in patients aged 50-70 years.
