Aging with HIV/AIDS
By the end of the decade, 70% of people living with HIV/AIDS will be older than 50. To bring attention to the impact of HIV/AIDS on the older adult population, ASA and Gilead have launched an initiative to help professionals in aging to better support and engage with this demographic.
Join Gilead Sciences and the American Society on Aging for a series of conversations about caring for older adults living with HIV. This podcast series covers the opportunities to improve care for those who are aging with HIV—from educating healthcare professionals to ensuring social workers have the resources they need—and examines the experiences of overlooked HIV communities.

World AIDS Day Social Media Toolkit
As we approach World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, it’s essential to bring awareness to the growing population of older adults living with HIV/AIDS. ASA has created a toolkit with language and graphics you can use to share information on aging with HIV/AIDS on social media.
You can use this World AIDS Day Social Media Toolkit to help spread awareness of the unique experiences of older adults living with HIV/AIDS.
