Abstract
The increase in life expectancy of HIV infected patients, following the scale-up of ART, raises concern of a potential overlap between HIV and non-communicable diseases (NCD) epidemics in Sub-Saharan Africa. Population will age, unmasking the burden of NCD, previously hidden due to high rates of HIV-related mortality. NCD are becoming more important in low- and middle incoming settings, where prevalence of risk factors is high and prevention efforts are limited.
