'Looking after the survivors': the health of a cohort of long-term human immunodeficiency virus patients 25 years on.
Thomas McNeilEmily RowePublished in: Internal medicine journal (2020)
The present study showed high rates of 'non-HIV morbidity' in a group of long-term HIV patients in South Australia. Clinicians should aggressively modify cardiovascular risk factors, ensure appropriate immunisations, monitor mental health and consider targeted malignancy screening in these patients. A robust clinical infrastructure and multidisciplinary team is required to facilitate the complex care needs of long-term HIV patients.
