Aging Positively:
Growing Old with HIV For PWHA Consumers
This half-day forum will familiarize
consumers with the health and mental health concerns
related to aging and HIV. We will describe the recent
research on the impact of chronic inflammation and
long-term viral infection on aging. Local providers will
discuss community resources that can support consumers
and will describe positive behavior changes that
consumers can implement with minimal to moderate effort
that can reduce their risk for developing chronic health
problems, improve quality of life, and in some cases,
extend their lives.
Participants will be able to:
• Describe the impact of aging on physical and
mental health
• Examine ways that HIV infection may affect
physical and mental health concerns related to aging
• Identify positive behavior changes that can
improve quality of life and reduce risk for some
physical and mental health-related conditions
