Abstract:
As the population of people living with HIV (PWH) ages, they face increased risks of chronic diseases and may require care in nursing homes (NHs). This study identifies systemic barriers to optimal HIV care in NHs through three case examples, illustrating issues such as knowledge gaps in HIV management across the care spectrum, miscommunication during transition of care, and stigma. Proposed solutions include targeted education, improved drug interaction software, and enhanced protocols for HIV care in NHs. Addressing these gaps is crucial for improving outcomes for this aging and vulnerable population.
