Death rates from AIDS-related events in HIV-positive individuals have declined in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). It has also been shown that deaths from non-AIDS events have declined in this cohort since the advent of HAART. We review these data, as well as discussing some of the possible effects HAART might have on non-AIDS diagnoses and deaths in HIV-positive individuals with successfully treated HIV.

Key Words: HIV • HAART • non-AIDS events • mortality
