Session 4: Ageing, life expectancy and cure research

This session looked at three important aspects of HIV research which experts do not always agree on. We looked at each topic from different perspectives.

  1. What does current research tell us about how HIV impacts on ageing
  2. Why do some researchers say life expectancy is similar to HIV negative people and others think the situation is more complex
  3. An update of research to cure HIV

Topics covered:

  • Developments in HIV treatment
  • Long-term implications of HIV and treatment
  • Different approaches to cure research
  • Lifestyle factors
  • Diet and exercise
