2 Conflict of interests The design, study conduct, and financial support of these clinical studies (epidemiological on women HIV+ population) EVhA 1 and EVhA 3 was provided by Abbvie (former Abbott). Abbvie participated in the interpretation of data, review, and approval of the 3 abstracts related to each study and the comparison between both (EVhA1 and EVhA3 belonging to the EVhA Stages Project). Dr. Celia Miralles reports receiving consulting fees from Bristol Myers Squibb, Gilead Sciences, Janssen, Abbott Laboratories and Merck, payment for development of educational materials from Bristol Myers Squibb, compensation for advisory board membership from Gilead Sciences, Janssen lecture fees from Merck, Bristol Myers Squibb, Gilead Sciences, HIV, and compensation for travel, accommodations, or meeting expenses from, Bristol Myers Squibb and Gilead Sciences.

4 Background Globally, half of adults living with HIV are women [1]. Figures are lower in Spain where they make up to 25% of the HIV/AIDS population on antiretroviral treatment ART (about 25,000 patients) [2]. Women are different than men and face unique challenges regarding HIV infection [3]. Over the last years there has been an increasing interest in the HIV+ women topic. Although there is still a lack of information about how women deal with the virus in real life, They are under represented in clinical trials Most of which only focus on the efficacy and the safety of ART [4 6]. Not forgetting that only few studies are performed having women as the unique research population [7, 8]. 1.

5 Background 2 Highly active ART has changed the life perspective of women living with HIV. With this shift in the HIV epidemic the focus of health care has evolved towards improving the Quality of Life (QoL). HYPOTHESIS of the EVhA Stages Project There might nevertheless be found differences on QoL between women with HIV infection and those with similar age and education/employment level but without HIV infection. Additionally, aging with HIV could increase the risk of comorbidities and may cause differences from HIV women in several life fields. These characteristics might affect the QoL of HIV+ women at different age stages. 5

53 Young and mature HIV+ women: conclusions Young HIV+ women show less damage in their sexual sphere, better mood stage, neurocognitive function and higher QoL scores in some items than in HIV+ mature women. In younger women anxiety positive screening correlated with lower QoL scores in physical function, energy, mental health, cognitive function and transitional health components. Both, anxiety and depression positive screening was a related factor with lower QoL scores in all components for mature women. Whether other factors could explain this differences (I.E: HCV coinfection) as well as taking into account confounding factors is a matter of further analysis. 53

54 EVhAs stages project: limitations and strengths Limitations These are cross sectional, single visit, studies. The sample size in EVhA 1 (young women) is small to get definitive conclusions. There is an age range missing between the 2 studies, 23 to 34 years. Not all HIV women had a previous HIV test performed as non infectivity documentation. The tool for QoL were different for HIV+ and HIV not allowing a 100% comparison despite the MOS HIV has been adapted to this disease population from MOS (SF 36). Strengths These are together the largest ever studies performed in HIV+ and HIV women in Spain in 2 different age stages. In both studies many different sites from different regions in Spain have participated, therefore providing a good representation of HIV+ women in our country. This kind of cross sectional studies with several instruments provide a large amount of data to analyse apart from what has been shown here. 54

55 EVhAs stages project: final conclusions Young HIV+ women show less damage in their sexual sphere, better mood stage, neurocognitive function and higher QoL scores than in HIV+ mature women. How clinical demographic differences between groups influence on these results it is something that deserves further investigation A multidimensional management with special focus on mental health and mood stage of the HIV+ women might be critical to improve their wellbeing facing aging and living with HIV. These data support recent Spanish published guidelines on special overall health HIV+ women might need [1]. 1. Polo R. Executive summary.
