Background. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) prolongs short-term survival in patients with HIV/AIDS. HAART has only been available since 1996; thus, no longterm data are available. Computer simulation models extrapolating can provide estimates of long-term survival. These may assist and clinicians treatment planning. The authors construct a computer model based on observational to estimate cohort HIV/AIDS undergoing HAART. Methods. use from the Collaboration HIV Outcomes...
