ABSTRACT
With advances in medicine, HIV has evolved into a chronic condition for people living with HIV (PLWH). However, many PLWH do not engage in advance care planning (ACP), and it occurs primarily in acute situations. ACP may improve preparedness for end-of-life care and increase advance directive (AD) documentation. Searches of PubMed, PsycInfo, and CINHAL were conducted to synthesize current ACP-related randomized controlled trials on two separate populations (1) PLWH and (2) older adults without HIV. Two articles met inclusion criteria for PLWH, and the intervention had a significant improvement in ACP engagement. For the latter population, thirteen of fourteen articles had interventions that led to statistically significant increases in ACP engagement. This review underscores the need to further investigate the best strategies to improve ACP among PLWH and provides insights from existing ACP interventions for the general population to be adapted to the needs of PLWH.
