There is limited data on the epidemiology of emphysema in LMIC, where more than 90% of deaths from COPD occur and where the morbidity of HIV is most heavily concentrated. The population of PWH is aging, and age-related co-morbidities such as emphysema will only increase in salience. Over the next five years, the authors anticipate novel trials of targeted therapy for emphysema specific to PWH, and we anticipate a growing body of evidence to inform optimal clinical care for lung health among PWH in LMIC.
