HIV/AIDS and Aging

HIV/AIDS and aging is an increasingly important public health concern as the number of people living with HIV, who are over the age of 50, continues to grow. People who are living with HIV into later life are more likely to experience additional health conditions, and often require specialised care and support. The aging process can be accelerated in those living with HIV due to biological and social factors. As a result, it is vital for health professionals, caregivers, and people living with HIV to be aware of the impact of aging on health and well-being, and to know how to best support those living with HIV. Through better awareness and support, it is possible to improve quality of life, reduce HIV transmission, and promote healthy aging for those living with HIV.
