HIV treatment has evolved over time. At first it was not very effective. The latest treatments are fairly simple. They can be taken once daily. More importantly, they have very few side effects. What we're seeing now in the studies that look at people who are aging is that HIV-positive people get the same illnesses as others. In some cases, as you point out, the cardiovascular risk has been associated with the fact that in HIV-positive people, rates of smoking are double or triple what they are in HIV-negative people.
It's not the medicines. It's other factors.
