As HIV treatment has advanced and more people are managing HIV as a chronic condition, evidence-based health promotion programs can provide support. Find resources to serve adults with HIV/AIDS more effectively in your community.
A collection of health, wellness, and nutrition resources compiled by the Administration for Community Living.
Aging with Pride paints a vivid portrait of the lives of sexual and gender diverse midlife and older adults, documenting a complex relationship between risk and resilience. The landmark study is the first federally-funded longitudinal national project designed to better understand the aging, health, and well-being of sexual and gender diverse midlife and older adults.
Antiretroviral therapies are essential in HIV care. As people living with HIV age and their presence in nursing homes increases, it is critical to evaluate the quality of HIV care. We determine the rate of ART use and examine individual and facility level characteristics associated with no ART use in a nationally representative long stay NH residents with HIV.
Social determinants of health were found to be associated with brain aging among patients with HIV infection, according to results of a retrospective case-control study published in The Lancet HIV.
The Alzheimer’s Disease and Healthy Aging Data Portal provides easy access to national and state level CDC data on a range of key indicators of health and well-being for older adults.
Antiretroviral cocktails can make human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, undetectable and untransmittable, but both the virus and its treatment can also accelerate aging of bone and muscle.
University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Medicine spoke to one of Associate Professor Lucy Dorrell’s patients about her experiences discovering that she was HIV+.

Living with HIV may have an immediate effect on how your body ages, according to new research which showed that cellular aging was sped up in male patients within two to three years of infection.
Fatigue is prevalent in people living with HIV and in older adults. Research has been associated with a wide range of psychosocial factors, including depression, anxiety, and poor quality of sleep, leading to overall poorer quality of life. Fatigue is also associated with comorbidities such as hypothyroidism, Hepatitis C, disease severity, and treatment status among PLWH. This study goes into detail about framing the relationship between fatigue, cognition, and everyday functioning in PLWH.
With ART and the extended lifespan of PLWH, HIV comorbidities also include aging—most likely due to accelerated aging—as well as cardiovascular, neurocognitive disorders, lung and kidney disease, and malignancies. The broad evidence suggests that HIV with ART is associated with accentuated aging and that the age-related comorbidities occur earlier, due in part to chronic immune activation, co-infections, and possibly the effects of ART alone.
