- Abstract
Objective. To measure the effect of the change in mortality by AIDS in life expectancy at birth of Spanish population in 1985-2017. Materials and methods. We analyzed 56 863 deaths by AIDS. We calculated age-standardized death rates, and we applied Poisson regression and decomposition of life expectancies. Results. From 1985 to 1995, mortality by AIDS contributed to reduce life expectancy at birth of 0.64 years for men, and 0.17 for women; in 1996-2017, increase it by 0.60 years, men, and 0.17, women. Conclusion. The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy in 1996 and prevention were decisive to reduce mortality by AIDS and to become chronic the epidemic.
