About half of all people living with HIV in the United States are aged 50 and older. With proper treatment, people living with HIV can now expect to live long and healthy lives. Many are thriving, and thanks to antiretroviral treatment, people with an undetectable HIV viral load cannot transmit the virus (U=U). But challenges remain. Much of the marketing for PreP has focused on younger adults who may be at risk for HIV. Meanwhile, people over age 50 who receive a first-time diagnosis of HIV tend to get the diagnosis later in the course of the illness. Long-term care facility staff are, on the whole, unprepared to deal with the unique needs of residents who have HIV. And loneliness and isolation can have profound effects on people who are living and aging with HIV.

SAGE New Orleans is proud to partner with LSU Health Sciences Center to provide a forum to discuss these and other related issues at the summit.
