Research from an 18-year Spanish cohort presented to the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2025) in San Francisco last week showed a significant reduction in severe non-AIDS events – such as heart attacks and non-AIDS cancers – over time. Other outcomes, such as hypertension and dementia, remained relatively stable over time in this cohort, with no significant increases.
Dr Alejandro Garcia, from the Hospital Ramón y Cajal in Madrid, presented these results.
As the number of older people with HIV has steadily increased over time, due to widespread availability of antiretroviral therapy (ART), there is an increased risk of multiple non-AIDS illnesses developing that are related to ageing. Cohorts such as CoRIS provide researchers with an opportunity to investigate these changes over time.
