The national resource center for care coordination and pozitively aging with HIV
The National Resource Center from HealthHIV builds the capacity of HIV and primary care providers to coordinate care for people living and aging with HIV across a lifetime. This program enhances provider and patient knowledge related to the experiences of PWH over 50 and the comanagement of conditions associated with aging with HIV through data collection and medical education.
HealthHIV’s Fourth Annual State of Aging with HIV™ National Survey examines crucial issues facing long-term survivors and adults aging with HIV. For the first time, this survey has two population focuses—one that reached the PAWH community and one that reached the workforce that provides health and human services to the population. The survey data was collected between August and September 2024 and included responses from 907 participants.
In coordination with HealthHIV’s Pozitively Aging program, the survey is dedicated to improving access to services and care coordination for People with HIV. Findings from this survey will be used in the creation of vital education and training materials for the HIV care workforce and will inform advocacy and research priorities for the coming year surrounding those aging with HIV.
