Abstract
AbstractHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is now considered a manageable chronic condition. With the tolerable and highly active antiretroviral therapies that are available today, people diagnosed with HIV can experience longevity and good health‐related quality of life. As a result, the number of older people living with HIV, including in aged care, is increasing. There are, however, challenges and barriers to successful ageing for people living with HIV. These include persistent chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction, earlier occurrence of complex comorbidities, and additional exacerbators such as polypharmacy. To mitigate these factors, clinicians should implement evidenced‐based interventions and adopt a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to management so that people living with HIV have the best chance of ageing well.
