Key Points:
- The Emerging Strategies to Improve Health Outcomes for People Aging with HIV project—also known as the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Special Projects of National Significance Program Aging with HIV Initiative—will seek to strengthen the evidence base for emerging clinical and psychosocial services that comprehensively screen and manage co-occurring conditions, geriatric factors, and behavioral health needs among people aged 50 and older with HIV.
- "The increasing number of people with HIV aged 50 years and older reflects tremendous advancement in HIV treatment and care," said Rich Dunville, principal research scientist at NORC.
- We are excited to support the implementation and evaluation of critical, innovative interventions to improve health outcomes among people aging with HIV."
