Managing HIV in an Aging Population

In this issue:

Widespread use of highly effective ART has increased the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH) to close to that of the general population. But despite highly effective viral suppression, the risks for cardiovascular diseases continue to increase in these individuals. So too do the risks of neurocognitive impairment.

What do clinicians need to know to reduce these risks? What does the current evidence say, and how can those new findings best be applied?

Join us in this issue of eHIV Review, as guest author Jose Lucar MD, from the The George Washington University’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences, describes the evidence pointing to improved interventions to better maintain the health of these aging patients. 

Learning objective:

Assess factors associated with the aging population of PLWH that may complicate treatment or warrant special considerations.
