Evaluating the burden and aetiology of medical comorbidities among people with HIV in Australia: towards the optimal management of the ageing HIV positive population

艾滋病毒感染者的寿命更长，因为有了更好的艾滋病毒药物。艾滋病毒感染者也比艾滋病毒阴性者有更多的医疗问题（如心脏病和癌症）。因此，治疗这些其他疾病正在成为照顾艾滋病毒感染者的一个更大的部分。这项研究的重点是：1）了解这些医疗条件在艾滋病毒感染者中有多常见; 2）确定艾滋病毒感染者比艾滋病毒阴性者有更多医疗问题的原因。

People with HIV are living longer due to better HIV medications. People with HIV also have more medical problems (like heart disease and cancer) than HIV negative persons. Therefore, treating these other medical conditions is becoming a larger part of caring for people with HIV. This research focuses on: 1) Understanding how common these medical conditions are among people with HIV; and 2) Identifying the reasons behind why people with HIV have more medical problems than HIV negative people.
