According to the CDC 11% of adults have subjective cognative decline. Given the high coverage of ART in Australia, researchers assessed if there was a link between ART and cognative decline. With 1% of the study population reported to have sustained decline, the authors concluded that meaningful cognative decline was not significantly different compared with what would be expected. Although not a game changing new drug regimen, with the average life expectantcy of people with HIV now 83 year the lack of link between ART and cognative decline means that good health and wellbeing can be promoted into old age.

The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) is an international standards development organization (SDO) focused on advancing human health and medicine through genomic data sharing and interoperability. Founded in 2013, the organization has evolved over time and has adapted to unexpected challenges in ways that we believe would be of interest to the broad biomedical community. In this chapter, we present our experiences to support others wishing to share data through global, community-driven standards supporting SDG3.
