Primary Care Concerns for the Aging Population With HIV.

Abstract

Because individuals with HIV are living longer, comorbidities are moving to the forefront of HIV patient care. People with HIV have a higher risk for HIV-related and non-HIV-related cancers than the general population, making cancer screening vital for this population. Immunizations are another important element of primary care for older adults with HIV, including a COVID-19 vaccine, about which data continue to evolve. This article summarizes a presentation by Steven C. Johnson, MD, at the International Antiviral Society-USA (IAS-USA) virtual HIV course Aging and HIV: Issues, Screening, and Management in Individuals with HIV as They Age in June 2021.
