Abstract

The number of people with HIV (PWH) aged 50 years or older continues to steadily increase. The convergence of age- and HIV-related complications in these individuals presents a challenge for both patients and clinicians alike. New findings continue to emerge, as numerous researchers evaluate the combined impact of these two factors on quality of life, physiological systems, and mental health in PWH. Since its first occurrence in 2009, the International Workshop on HIV & Aging has served as a multidisciplinary meeting to share basic biomedical data, clinical trial results, treatment strategies and epidemiological recommendations, towards better understanding and outcomes amongst like-minded scientific professionals. In this paper, we share a selection of key findings presented in plenary talks at the 11th Annual International Workshop on HIV and Aging, held virtually September 30-October 2 2020. We will also address future directions of HIV and aging research, to further assess how the aging process intersects with chronic HIV.
