Advancing integration in the approach to older adults with HIV: perspectives from geriatric and HIV specialists.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aging of people with HIV (PWH) is a growing public health concern, with projections indicating that by 2030, up to 70% of this population will be aged 50 years or older. Despite the increasing prevalence of age-related comorbidities and geriatric syndromes in older adults with HIV (OAWH), the integration of geriatric expertise into HIV care remains limited. This study aimed to assess geriatricians' knowledge and involvement in the care of OAWH and to explore HIV specialists' attitudes toward collaborative, multidisciplinary care.

Methods

A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted using two structured online surveys-one for geriatricians and one for HIV specialists-disseminated through national scientific societies in Spain, Italy, Mexico, and Canada. T
