  • This study focuses more generally on those who are aging with a disability and have been living with their disability from a young age. In the study, this classifies those who are born with HIV and the discrimination and long-term problems that they face over time as someone with a disability. Interventions that are engaging older people with HIV (OPWH) in conversations about sexual health may be beneficial for successfully helping them through related health issues.
