Healthy Living With HIV - Impact of Mental Health on Quality of Life, 24-25 May 2021
Advances in the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy, coupled with improved access to an increasing variety of regimens, have positively affected longevity. People are now living longer with HIV than ever before. This increased life expectancy, alongside long-term adherence to antiretroviral prophylaxis, brings new factors to address. Clinical characteristics commonly observed in aging, such as an increased number of chronic conditions and the use of multiple medications, need to be taken into consideration. Concurrently, monitoring for potential toxicity for those on long-term antiretroviral medication remains significant. With this increase in treatment length, examination of the effects of long-term prophylaxis concerning quality of life and emotional status is vital.
Join our session on Healthy Living with HIV at the European HIV Clinical Forum 2021, where Dr. Carmina Fumez will share her insights surrounding the impact of mental health on the quality of life of people living with HIV.
