As people with HIV live longer due to ART, new challenges are emerging. Aging with HIV is linked to higher risks of comorbidities, chronic inflammation, and drug interactions, while gaps in clinical trial inclusion and care models highlight the need for more integrated, patient-centered treatment strategies.
While the focus of HIV therapeutic development remains on advancing ART-based medicines, developers are increasingly called to design therapies and care models that account for multimorbidity and the unique physiological needs of older adults with HIV. An article in Infection Control Today examines the shifting clinical profile of aging with HIV, the research gaps affecting this population, and the implications for drug development.
