As HIV treatment and support services advance and become accessible, more people with HIV have long and full lives. Life expectancy is nearly the same for people with HIV who are engaged in HIV care and for people without HIV. Most people with HIV are 50 and older.
For many people with HIV, growing older can come with new challenges for health, daily living and quality of life. People with HIV have chronic conditions more often than people without HIV and often at younger ages. Chronic conditions that commonly affect people with HIV are diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cognitive decline disorders, bone density loss and some cancers. These conditions can affect parts of life like memory, mobility, social and emotional wellness, and cost of medical care and medications. Chronic conditions are often treatable or manageable, particularly when these conditions are diagnosed early and for those with strong networks of support.
Planning and access to community resources can help people with HIV tackle issues that growing older may bring. People with HIV can talk with peers and case managers about insurance and long-term care plans, building financial security, growing strong connections with community and how to talk about chronic conditions with their providers.
There are programs to help providers respond to the changing needs of people with HIV as they age including:
Clinicians can support progress toward population health equity by:
