Perspectives of people living with HIV age 50 and over regarding barriers and resources for care.

With early and effective antiretroviral therapy leading to improved life expectancy in people with HIV (PWH), PWH aged 50 or older face concerns and issues related to aging. Providers at the University of Colorado identified a need to assess the healthcare needs of PWH aged 50 and older at the UCHealth Infectious Diseases/Travel (TEAM) Clinic in Aurora, Colorado. A survey was developed to illuminate participants' general rating of their health, factors that made it challenging to get the healthcare needed prior to COVID-19 and during COVID-19, and types of healthcare appointments and providers that would make a difference in healthcare experience.

Strengths and Challenges of Various Models of Geriatric Consultation for Older Adults Living With Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

As care of persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; PWH) has transitioned from management of opportunistic infections to management of conditions associated with older age, new models of geriatric consultation are needed. The authors, who represent 9 clinics across North America and the United Kingdom, provided their insights on models of geriatric consultation for older PWH. Three models of geriatric consultation are delineated: outpatient referral/consultation, combined HIV/geriatric multidisciplinary clinic, and dually trained providers within 1 clinical setting.
