Paper

Abstract

Effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), has transformed HIV into a chronic condition, enabling more people with HIV to reach older age. However, longevity has exposed a growing burden of multimorbidity, frailty, functional decline, polypharmacy, and age-related syndromes that are not adequately addressed by ART-centered care models.

Research summary

The paper claims that current HIV care models need to be reframed to address the unique challenges faced by older adults living with HIV. This is relevant as it discusses the intersection of HIV care and aging, focusing on the need for comprehensive approaches to improve health outcomes in older adults, which aligns with longevity research.
