|---|---|---|
ABSTRACTIndividuals living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) today are living longer, thanks to expanded access to antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, this population is therefore increasingly at risk for many age-associated comorbidities. The future health of people living with HIV will therefore depend on the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), with consideration for integrated approaches to screening and treatment becoming increasingly important. This analysis applies a hybrid simulation of HIV and NCDs to examine the impact of providing screening and treatment for hypertension and diabetes at HIV facilities in Nairobi, Kenya. We combine a compartmental model of the HIV epidemic at a population level with a microsimulation of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and explore the impact of various strategies for targeting eligible individuals on ART, by age and gender, to receive NCD screening and treatment. |
