TL;DR: Investigation of the association of cumulative exposure to protease inhibitors and nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors with the risk of myocardial infarction found no evidence of such an association for nonn nucleosidereverse-transcriptionase inhibitors; however, the number of person-years of observation for exposure to this class of drug was less than that for Exposure to prote enzyme inhibitors.

TL;DR: There exists an increased risk of myocardial infarction in patients exposed to abacavir and didanosine within the preceding 6 months and the excess risk does not seem to be explained by underlying established cardiovascular risk factors and was not present beyond 6 months after drug cessation.

TL;DR: Before widespread use of highly-active antiretroviral therapy (before 1996), time since seroconversion and age at serconversion were the major determinants of survival and development of AIDS in Europe, North America, and Australia.

TL;DR: A consensus definition of late presentation of HIV infection is presented to present to identify the extent to which late presentation occurs remains inadequate across Europe.

TL;DR: The proportion of pre-AIDS deaths increased from 1994 to 2001; however, the incidence of pre -AIDS deaths and deaths overall declined; therefore, it is essential to continue to monitor all causes of mortality to identify changes.
