AB  - With  improvements  in  therapy,  patients  who  are  adherent  with  treatment  should  have  near  normal  life  spans.  A  population-based  study  conducted  in  Denmark  found  that  people  aged  25  years  living  with  HIV  without  hepatitis  C  had  a  life  expectancy  similar  to  that  of  a  25-year-old  without  HIV.  Unfortunately,  not  all  people  living  with  HIV  have  access  to  treatment.  Studies  consistently  show  less  access  to  treatment  for  Black  people  living  with  HIV  and  those  experiencing  homelessness  or  who  inject  drugs.  For  patients  whose  disease  progresses  even  though  they  are  receiving  appropriate  treatment,  palliative  care  must  be  provided  (see  Chapter  5),  with  attention  to  pain  control,  spiritual  needs,  and  family  (biologic  and  chosen)  dynamics.
