Objective:To compare life expectancies between recently diagnosed HIV-infected patients and age and sex-matched uninfected individuals from the general population. Design:National observational HIV cohort in the Netherlands. Methods:Four thousand, six hundred and twelve patients diagnosed with HIV between 1998 and 2007 and still antiretroviral therapy-naive as of 24 weeks after diagnosis were selected. Progression to death compared to the age and sex-matched general population was studied with… Expand
