Long-Term HIV Treatment and Ageing

Living well with HIV for the long-term means having many of the same opportunities as someone without HIV, especially if you maintain undetectable status. However, HIV and ageing brings all the same challenges – and a few more.

Whether you have recently been diagnosed with HIV or lived with it for a while, it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest research and information on HIV medications.

Exercising and eating a well-balanced diet is also essential for people living well with HIV.

Engaging in your own health and wellbeing, with the support of your healthcare team, is vital. Take a look at our HIV positive stories below to find out more.
