"Individuals with HIV have somewhat higher rates of coronary illness and neurologic maladies, for example, Alzheimer's and other neurocognitive issues. Furthermore, somewhat higher rate of tumors. Their long haul future may not be absolutely typical in light of complexities of living with the infection and living with every one of the drugs."
