Abstract
When the HIV epidemic emerged in the 1980s, pharmacological treatment was not available and many individuals died from HIV or related complications. Introduction of effective antiretroviral therapy in the 1990s transitioned HIV from a death sentence to a chronic disease. Fortunately, people are now aging with HIV, but also developing other chronic illnesses. This chapter examines theories related to aging and discusses the physical and mental health issues associated with aging and HIV. Topics include cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, non-AIDS defining cancers, diabetes, frailty, neurocognitive functioning, and depression. Incorporated into each chapter are recommendations on how individuals can age successfully while living with HIV.
