Abstract:
We compared completion of advance directives (AD), designation of a healthcare proxy, and stage in the advance care planning process (pre-contemplation/contemplation, preparation/action) between older adults with (N = 110) and without (N = 50) HIV. Participants' mean age was 61.3, most identified as male (82%) and sexual minorities (74%), were racially/ethnically diverse (44% white, 28% Latinx, 16% Black); 37% had an AD and 44% had a healthcare proxy. In adjusted logistic regressions, HIV- individuals had higher odds of being in preparation/action for having an AD (aOR: 2.6) and healthcare proxy (aOR: 3.6) compared to people living with HIV. Older age (aOR: 1.1) and having a sense of greater purpose in life (aOR: 2.1) were also positively associated with being in the preparation/action stage for having a healthcare proxy.
