ABSTRACT
As people with HIV live longer, they can experience increased incidence and earlier onset of chronic conditions and geriatric syndromes. Older people are also at substantially increased risk of delayed diagnosis and treatment for HIV. Increasing provider awareness of this is pivotal in ensuring adequate consideration of HIV testing and earlier screening for chronic conditions. In addition, evaluating patients for common geriatric syndromes such as polypharmacy, frailty, falls, and cognitive impairment should be contextualized based on how they present.
