Old thread for sure, but as I came across it as part of a collection on the issue of LGBTQ, what you said is certainly affirmed by the data. The linked article also states, "Those aged 50-plus with the comorbidity were more likely to be women (43 percent versus 29 percent), have hep C, and be long-term survivors who had been on antiretroviral medications for more than a decade.
