What has been the primary effect of widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on the presentation of HIV-related disease in developed nations?
- Decreased prevalence of non-AIDS-defining cancers
- Increased incidence of opportunistic infections
- No change in the patterns of HIV-related diseases
- Shift in the pattern toward non-AIDS-defining cancers (correct)

HAART's effect on HIV
HAART's effect on HIV
Widespread HAART reduces opportunistic infections, but increases non-AIDS cancers and immune reconstitution issues.

Study Notes
HIV/AIDS and HAART Impact
- HAART significantly alters HIV disease presentation in developed nations.
- Opportunistic infections are less common, while cancers and immune reconstitution issues increase.
- In developing countries without widespread HAART access, AIDS-related disease profiles remain similar.
Chest Infections in HIV/AIDS
- Acute chest presentations are common in HIV patients.
- Infection type depends on CD4 cell count.
- Between 200 and 500 CD4 cells/µL, bacterial, mycobacterial, and candidal infections are most prevalent.
