Health conditions in adults with HIV compared with the general population: A population-based cross-sectional analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Life expectancy in adults with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has increased and managing other health conditions is increasingly important for patients and healthcare planning. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and association between different health conditions and HIV status.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional analysis of adult UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink primary care electronic medical records linked to hospital admissions as of Nov 30, 2015. We examined 47 health condition groups and 304 physical and mental health conditions by HIV status, after adjustment for age, sex, social deprivation status using logistic regression.

Findings

There were 964 patients with HIV (61.7% male; 92.8% aged <65 years) and 941,113 non-HIV
