Abstract | Although it has been shown that HIV-infected adults are at greater risk for aging-associated events, it remains unclear as to whether these events happen at similar, or younger ages, in HIV-infected compared to uninfected adults. The objective of this study was to compare the median age at, and risk of, incident diagnosis of three age-associated diseases in HIV-infected and similar uninfected adults. |
