People with HIV still die young – preventing non-AIDS-associated comorbidity [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr David Boettiger (Principal investigator)

Brief description There are over 36 million people in the world infected with HIV. While people with HIV can now live an almost normal life through the use of medication, they have a very high risk of heart problems, cancer and other common illnesses. It is important to find ways of reducing the cost of treating these common illnesses and to make sure that people with HIV can live a long, happy life. This project aims to find the best ways to stop people with HIV getting heart trouble or dying from liver cancer.
