Abstrakt:	Background: The proportion of older people living with HIV (PLWH) has increased. Non-communicable diseases occur earlier in PLWH than in the general population. Objective: The goal of this study was to estimate the prevalence of comorbidities in PLWH and cancer in a tertiary referral center in Mexico City. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, we included PLWH > 40 years with a history of cancer, coming to Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia from 2010 through 2019. All patients needed to be on antiretrovirals for at least six months. Data collected included cancer type, comorbidities, frequency of polypharmacy, FRAX score and 10-year cardiovascular risk. Patients were evaluated for depression with the Beck Inventory Depression-II Scale. Variables associated to multimorbidity (2 or more comorbidities) were evaluated. Results: Of 125 patients, 69% had at least one comorbidity; 32% had ≥ 2. Common comorbidities were dyslipidemia (54%), hypertension (19%), obesity (14%) and Diabetes (12%). In patients ≥ 50 years, 29 (62%) already undergone a densitometry and 9 (31%) had osteoporosis; 56 depression questionnaires were used: 30% had mild-to-severe depression. Being ≥ 50 years was associated with multimorbidity (aOR 2.57 (1.18-5.58), p = 0.017). Conclusions: A high prevalence of multimorbidity and poor screening of bone disease and mental health is reported in patients with PLWH and cancer. A holistic approach to the PLWH in the Infectious Diseases consultation is needed to improve the detection and management of non-communicable diseases, to go beyond viral suppression and towards an improved quality of life.
