New Lancet HIV report advocates for comprehensive healthy-aging approach for older adults with HIV.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Yale recommend a shift in HIV care for older adults, moving beyond antiretroviral therapy to a holistic 'healthy-aging' approach. This includes monitoring physiological age, reducing polypharmacy, and promoting mental health and healthy lifestyles. This guidance is significant as nearly a third of people with HIV were over 50 in 2025, a demographic projected to reach half by 2040, highlighting the growing need for specialized care.
