People with HIV are living longer in age of ART.

Over 50% of them are now >50y, and many aging into Medicare.

In new @Health_Affairs work, we take a close look at how HIV affects $$ in Medicare patients.

@EmilyHyle @IngridKatzMD @ashishkjha

healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hl… Image Key Findings:

1. Medicare patients with HIV spend more than 3 times as non-HIV pts (~$50K vs ~$16K/yr) across Parts A, B, and D.

2. Over half (~$26K/yr) of spending among HIV pts is on antiretroviral therapy (ART)!
