Download this newly-published booklet describing some common health problems older adults with HIV may face. Since many of them cannot be cured at present, this booklet focuses on how to manage them successfully so you can age well. Each chapter includes an overview of the condition, how you can manage it in partnership with your doctor, and what you can do on your own.

This booklet does not provide advice on HIV in general. Instead, it focuses on problems that occur in older adults with HIV and what to do about them. It is not a replacement for doctors’ visits. Each person is different, so no booklet will ever be as good as your doctor’s advice. Follow your doctor’s advice, even if it differs from the advice in this booklet.
Purpose of this Program: The AAHIVM, ACRIA and AGS (collectively, the “Sponsors,” “we” or “us”) are sponsors of this Website and through it seek to address the unique needs and challenges that older adults of diverse populations living with HIV face as they age. However, the information in this Website is not meant to supplant the advice provided in a doctor-patient relationship.
