Description

Fatma Nisa Balli Turhan and co-authors test team-based care for older people with HIV in a 2026 study. Care involved pharmacists, infection specialists, and ageing specialists who reviewed drugs and gave person-centred support. Groups included older and younger people with HIV and older people without HIV.

In total, 285 people took part, half of them older people with HIV in the reported mix. Among older patients, virus drug plans were simplified in 24.1 percent of cases, and at least one drug was stopped in 48.9 percent in the figures given. Unsuitable prescribing fell sharply on standard checklists, while quality of life scores rose. Complexity scores did not shift clearly. Integrated, age-aware care is needed, the authors conclude.
