Sristi Sharma posted a discussionHIV and NCD
At the recent AIDS Conference held in Washington DC some sessions were help on Non Communicable Diseases among People living with HIV (PLWHIV). With the use of ARTs we find that PLWHIV have their own set of NCD that is a cause of concern- malignancies of many kinds being one of them. Of course, with the increasing length of survival in this group there is also an issue of NCDs in this population. Any thoughts on how this should be approached?
