Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has changed the face of HIV infection and AIDS into a treatable, chronic illness in resource-rich areas of the world. The hope is that we will overcome availability and distribution issues in resource-poor settings so the same is true in these regions of the world in the future. When available, HAART has dramatically decreased the incidence of opportunistic infections, which were frequently the direct cause of mortality during HIV infection. The paradox of this situation is that morbidities that were never relevant previously, because of truncated longevity before HAART, have now come to the fore as important aspects of HIV-related man­agement. Diseases that shorten life in patients without HIV infection must now be attended to with particular rigor in car­ing for patients with HIV infection. This is especially true since the manifestations of these co-morbidities are often worsened by HIV infection, and special considerations, including drug interactions, must be taken into account.
