With more people living with HIV (PLHIV) ageing into their 50s and beyond in settings where antiretroviral therapy is widely available, non-AIDS                 comorbidities and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are                becoming major challenges. Information is needed about whether                 national HIV monitoring programmes have evolved to reflect the                 changing focus of HIV care. " - " We created a 56-item English-language survey to assess whether health systems report on common health-related issues for people with HIV including physical and mental health comorbidities, HRQoL, psychosocial needs, and fertility desires. One expert was identified via purposive sampling in each of six countries (Estonia, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden, and Turkey) and was asked to                 participate in the survey. " - " Three respondents reported that the current monitoring systems in their countries do not monitor any of four specified aspects of 10 comorbidities including bone loss, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive disorders. Two respondents stated that their countries potentially can report on leading causes of hospital admission among PLHIV, and five on leading cases of death. In three countries, respondents reported that there was the ability to report on the HRQoL of PLHIV. In                 two countries, respondents provided data on the percentage of                 PLHIV denied health services because of HIV status in the past                 12 months. " - " This study identified areas for potential HIV                 monitoring improvements in six European countries in relation to                 comorbidities, HRQoL, discrimination within health systems, and                 other issues associated with the changing nature of the HIV                 epidemic. It also indicated that some countries either currently                 monitor or have the ability to monitor some of these issues.  There are opportunities for health information systems in  European countries to expand the scope of their HIV monitoring in order to support decision-making about how the long-term health-related needs of PLHIV can best be met.
