Objectives: HIV is often under-recognized in older individuals, particularly women, despite a significant number of new cases being diagnosed in those aged >50 years. This review aimed to understand the age-related experiences and challenges faced by women aged ≥50 years living with HIV through an intersectional perspective.
Methods: We conducted a systematic scoping review using the framework by Arksey and O'Malley, refined by Levac, Colquhoun, and Peters, and informed by a Sex- and Gender-Based Analysis Plus (SGBA+) approach.
