Survival among people with HIV and their families in Denmark 1995-2021: a nationwide population-based cohort study.

Survival among people with HIV (PWH) has vastly improved globally over the last few decades but remains lower than among the general population. We aimed to estimate time trends of survival among PWH and their families from 1995 to 2021.
