Links Between Inflammation, Mood, and Physical Function Among Older Adults With HIV
Novel approaches are needed to manage comorbidities and maximize quality of life among older PLWH. Illustrating key expected biopsychosocial links, our findings highlight several factors (e.g., depressive symptoms, poorer physical function) that may share bidirectional relationships with chronic inflammation, a key factor driving morbidity. These links may be leveraged to modify factors that drive excessive health risk among older PLWH
HIV Stigma and Older Men’s Psychological Well-Being
HIV stigma's negative relationship with PWB was salient in both groups. Spirituality's buffer between HIV stigma and PWB was stronger in older gay/bisexual MWH compared to their heterosexual counterparts. With respect to HIV stigma, older gay/bisexual MWH exhibited a "crisis competence" in coping with stigma, perhaps through overcoming past homophobia related to their sexual minority status (i.e., homophobia)
The Pleasure Is Better as I’ve Gotten Older”
Sexual Behavior of Older Adults Living with HIV in Uganda
Longitudinal Trends in Sexual Behaviors with Advancing Age and Menopause Among Women With and Without HIV-1 Infection
Substance Use and Sexual Risk Differences among Older Bisexual and Gay Men with HIV
Bisexual and gay men are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. Research typically combines these groups into the category of men who have sex with men, and little is known about between-group differences. HIV-positive populations are aging and have high rates of substance use compared to non-infected peers, while substance use among older adults has increased and is associated with unprotected intercourse. Among a sample of 239 HIV-positive bi…
Social Care Networks and Older LGBT Adults
Research on service needs among older adults rarely addresses the special circumstances of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals, such as their reliance on friend-centered social networks or the experience of discrimination from service providers. Limited data suggests that older LGBT adults underutilize health and social services that are important in maintaining independence and quality of life. This study explored the soci…
Service Utilization Among Older Adults With HIV
This study examines the association of sexual identity and gender among older clients with HIV at an AIDS service organization using the Andersen Model. Data confirm those aging with HIV exhibit high rates of age-associated illnesses 10 to 20 years before expected. They have fragile social networks that cannot supply the informal supports needed. This aging population will need to increasingly access community-based services. Sexual identity and …
“I'm Created in God's Image, and God Don't Create Junk”
There is an emerging literature on the integration of sexual and religious identities among gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) adults. However, this work has not assessed the experiences of GLBT adults 50 and older, whose life course issues and social care needs are different than younger members of this population. Using qualitative methods, we explored the religious engagement of 210 older GLBT adults, and examined the support recei…
Religious Congregations and the Growing Needs of Older Adults with HIV
By 2015, half of those with HIV will be over age 50. This group has a high level of needs, lacks social supports, and will need to access community services such as those provided by religious congregations. We examined whether disclosure to a congregation would pose a barrier to accessing congregational services among adults 50 and older with HIV (n = 819). Fifty-three percent had disclosed, but those who did not disclose generally remained enga…
Loneliness and HIV-related stigma explain depression among older HIV-positive adults
Advances in the treatment of HIV have resulted in a large growing population of older adults with HIV. These aging adults face added social, psychological, and physical challenges associated with the aging process. Correlations between depression, loneliness, health, and HIV/AIDS-related stigma have been studied, but there is little evaluation of these associations among HIV-positive adults over the age of 50. Data for these analyses were taken f…
