Trends in AIDS and Mortality in HIV-Infected Subjects With Hemophilia From 1985 to 2003

Abstract

Major reductions in AIDS and death rates were observed from 1997 to 2003 in hemophiliacs. These survival improvements are largely attributable to decreases in AIDS-related deaths and have been accompanied by increases in liver disease death rates, which are overestimated if competing risks are not taken into account.
