The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between ART use and utilization of health care services for diabetes and hypertension.Methods: Health and Aging in Africa: A Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in South Africa is a cohort of 5059 adults. The baseline study collects biomarker-based data on HIV, ART, diabetes, and hypertension and self-reported data on health care utilization. We calculated differences in care utilization for diabetes and hypertension by HIV and ART status and used multivariable logistic regressions to estimate the relationship between ART use and utilization of services for these conditions, controlling for age, sex, body mass index, education, and household wealth quintile. %B JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes %V 75 %P 561-567 %@ 1525-4135 %G eng %U http://journals.lww.com/jaids/Fulltext/2017/08150/The_ART_Advantage___Health_Care_Utilization_for.10.aspx %N 5 %M 00126334-201708150-00010 %R 10.1097/QAI.0000000000001445
