Abstract
The high-risk profile of HIV-infected persons, HIV infection itself, as well as late initiation and early discontinuation of care, all lead to substantial decreases in life expectancy. Survival disparities resulting from late initiation and early discontinuation of therapy are most pronounced for Hispanic HIV-infected men and women. Interventions focused on risk behaviors, as well as on earlier linkage to and better retention in care, will lead to improved survival for HIV-infected persons in the United States.
