艾滋病毒感染者的预期寿命随着抗逆转录病毒疗法的普及而大幅提高。因此，更多艾滋病毒感染者的寿命更长，面临着非传染性疾病的更大负担。非传染性疾病和艾滋病毒感染具有共同的流行病学和社会人口特征，这些特征影响其结果，在本区域相对薄弱的卫生系统中可能难以解决。拉丁美洲国家关于非传染性疾病和艾滋病毒的流行率和相互作用的数据仍然非常有限，这妨碍了这些国家的政府就医疗保健政策作出知情决定的能力。因此，迫切需要制定一项研究议程，作为拉丁美洲艾滋病毒和非传染性疾病合并症综合全面保健方法的基础。
The life expectancy of people living with HIV has dramatically improved with the much increased access to antiretroviral therapy. Consequently, a larger number of people living with HIV are living longer and facing the increased burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). NCDs and HIV infection share common epidemiologic and sociodemographic characteristics that influence their outcomes, which may be difficult to address in the relatively weak health systems of the region. Data on the prevalence and interactions of NCDs and HIV in Latin American countries remain very limited, which hinders their governments' ability to make informed decisions about health care policies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a research agenda that will be the basis for an integrated and comprehensive health care approach to HIV and NCD comorbidities in Latin America.
