HealthHIV Launches “Healthy Aging with HIV” Series and “Healthy Aging Hub”

Accredited program will support providers, peers, and advocates with structured learning on healthy aging with HIV

WASHINGTON, DC, December 2, 2025 – As we continue to commemorate World AIDS Day, HealthHIV is launching the new “Healthy Aging with HIV” series. This accredited learning series explores what it means to age with HIV, connecting science with lived experience and everyday practice. It is a tool for providers, case managers, peer navigators, and advocates to learn about  the intersection of medical knowledge with workforce readiness, social determinants of health, and supportive care systems.

The five H modules of the series—Horizon, Heart, Head, Hand, and Healing—cover real-world issues like social determinants of health, long-term care, workforce readiness, and stigma reduction. Much like the “5 M’s” of Geriatrics (Mind, Mobility, Medications, Multicomplexity, and What Matters Most) provide a framework for age-friendly healthcare, the Healthy Aging with HIV series gives learners a structured way to understand the lived realities People Aging with HIV experience.

The modules in the series are:

• Introduction Module – Healthy Aging with HIV 
• Module 1 – Horizon: Fulfilling the Promise of Healthy Aging with HIV
• Module 2 – Heart: Cardiovascular Health and Everyday Risks
• Module 3 – Head: Cognitive Health, Mental Well-Being, and Emotional Resilience
• Module 4 – Hand: Building Stronger Care Teams and Support Systems
• Module 5 – Healing: Mobility, Medication, and Thriving with Aging

“With modules built around the everyday realities people face as they age with HIV—emotional well-being, thinking and memory, teamwork in care, and staying mobile—the series gives learners practical guidance they can use in real settings,” said HealthHIV’s Director of Advocacy Scott Bertani. “We share the Healthy Aging with HIV Series in recognition of the resilience and experiences of People Aging with HIV. Their lives continue to shape this work, and we are grateful to bring forward a resource grounded in their stories at a time when visibility and commitment matter most.”

HealthHIV also is launching the Healthy Aging Hub, a central, online platform that provides education and resources to support People Aging with HIV. The Hub offers usable and trusted tools to strengthen care, improve quality of life, and address the broader realities that shape aging with HIV—such as housing, isolation, mobility, and financial security. It brings relevant guidance and practice-focused strategies together in one place.

The HealthHIV Healthy Aging with HIV series (healthhiv.org/healthy-aging-series) is housed on the new Healthy Aging Hub (healthhiv.org/healthyaging), as part of the Pozitively Aging Program.

About the Pozitively Aging Program
HealthHIV’s Pozitively Aging program supports persons aging with HIV (PAWH) — long-term survivors, individuals >65, “dandelions” (lifetime survivors), and those with high acuity — in accessing comprehensive, person-centered services. Addressing challenges amplified by systemic/racial discrimination, intersectional identity and socioeconomics, the program strengthens workforce capacity and enhances care coordination through targeted CBA and education/training across systems. Leveraging research, evaluation and CQI, the program advocates for enhanced health literacy through strategic communications; empowers PAWH as self-advocates; promotes system change; and focuses on equity and SDoH/QoL to improve outcomes.
