HIV complex care and care coordination: the nurse’s role
Articles suggest that nurses specializing in HIV care are an effective approach to a new era of life-long HIV care. Community nurses whose role is to create and conduct CCPs in a small clinic would enable nurses to work directly with patients to increase the effectiveness of the CCP.

Senotherapeutics for HIV and aging
Senescence is a hallmark of aging-related diseases that is characterized by stable cell cycle arrest and chronic inflammation. Chronic HIV-1 infection predisposes patients to aging-related illnesses and is similarly marked by a senescence-like phenotype. A better understanding of the role of HIV-1 in aging will inform the development of therapeutics aimed at eliminating senescent cells that drive accelerated physiologic aging.

Long-Term Suppressive cART Is Not Sufficient to Restore Intestinal Permeability and Gut Microbiota Compositional Changes
The study explores the long-term effects of cART on markers of gut damage, microbial translocation, and paired gut/blood microbiota composition, with a focus on the role exerted by different drug classes. The results conclude that 24 months of cART only affects the gastrointestinal tract minorly.

Altered gut microbiota correlates with different immune responses to HAART in HIV-infected individuals
Gut microbiota and immune activation were studied in 36 non-HIV-infected subjects and 58 HIV-infected individuals, including 28 immunological responders and 30 immunological non-responders without comorbidities.

Ageism and People With Early-Onset Disability
This study focuses more generally on those who are aging with a disability and have been living with their disability from a young age. In the study, this classifies those who are born with HIV and the discrimination and long-term problems that they face over time as someone with a disability.

Primary Care Guidance for Persons With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: 2020 Update by the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America
To optimize care engagement, medication adherence, and viral suppression, all people with HIV should be provided timely access to care, and HIV care sites should make the effort to provide care in a way that is linguistically and culturally appropriate. HIV care sites should implement programs that incorporate evidence-based programs to improve HIV care engagement and viral suppression.

Evaluation of a combined HIV and geriatrics clinic for older people living with HIV: The Silver Clinic in Brighton, UK
In an evaluated clinic that worked with aging PLWH, it was found that almost all referrals to the clinic involved comorbidities and suspected geriatric syndrome. Researchers suggested that Geriatricians with specializations in HIV might soon play a key role in the management and care of older people with both HIV and geriatric syndromes.

Closing the gap in implementation of HIV clinical guidelines in a low resource setting using electronic medical records
The aim of this study was to present statistical methods that maximize the use of existing electronic medical records (EMR) to monitor compliance with evidence-based care guidelines in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Data-Driven Strategies for HIV Care Re-Engagement: A Southern Perspective From Tennessee
This presentation highlights the Data to Care program coordinated by the Tennessee Department of Health. Participants will learn how data is used to identify people with HIV who are considered ‘out of care’ and how to successfully re-engage patients into HIV medical care and supportive services.

Re-Engagement into HIV Care: An Urban Communities Model
This presentation focuses on reducing the percentage of HIV patients who are out of care. Participants will learn to use a multi-disciplinary team approach to identify patients who are truly out of care, pinpoint the most effective approach toward contacting patients to be brought back into HIV care, and maintain the patient’s HIV care.
