The decision often comes with uncertainty\, guilt or fear of “waiting too long.” At the same time\, professionals play a key role in recognizing the warning signs and helping families make timely\, informed choices that support safety\, recovery\, and quality of life. \nRather than waiting for a crisis\, professionals can help families see the value of introducing care earlier—whether during hospital discharge\, after rehab\, or when day-to-day challenges begin to impact health and independence.

Speakers will discuss emerging research on brain health\, including what studies of people aging with HIV may teach us about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias\, as well as practical strategies for supporting cognitive wellness across care settings. The session will also examine considerations from low- and middle-income countries and how lessons learned may apply to lower-resource settings in the United States. Speakers will discuss care considerations\, opportunities for screening and referral\, and best practices for healthcare and aging services professionals working with older people with HIV. \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe key concepts\, terminology\, and evolving frameworks related to HIV and brain health\, and summarize current evidence regarding cognitive health\, brain aging\, and dementia-related concerns among older people living with HIV.\nIdentify factors that may contribute to cognitive changes in people with HIV and recognize opportunities for assessment\, screening\, referral\, and support across diverse care settings.\nDiscuss emerging research on HIV\, brain aging\, and dementia\, including how studies of people aging with HIV may contribute to understanding Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.\nApply practical strategies to promote brain health and person-centered care for people living with HIV\, including considerations for lower-resource settings in the United States and globally.\nDiscuss how collaboration among healthcare providers\, social service professionals\, aging networks\, and HIV organizations can improve outcomes for people with HIV facing cognitive challenges.\n\n  \nPresenters: \nShibani S.

She leads two NIH-funded studies: SOOTHE (R01 MH131194)\, a randomized trial of neuroactive steroids for depression in people with HIV\, and a study characterizing HIV-1 reservoirs in the central nervous system (R01 MH134823)\, which uses single-cell technology to determine how HIV persists in brain tissue despite effective antiretroviral therapy. She is Protocol Vice-Chair of ACTG A5402\, co-chairs the NIMH-funded committee developing clinical guidance on cognitive concerns in HIV for Ryan White Program providers\, and is Vice-Chair of the Clinical Research Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology. \nSam Nightingale is a Consultant Neurologist and Associate Professor at the University of Cape Town. His research focuses on dementia and the neurology of HIV. He is PI of the CONNECT and Ingqondo studies\, exploring cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms in people living with HIV. He is a fellow of the Race Against Dementia\, and chair of the International HIV-Cognition Working Group\, which has reframed criteria for cognitive impairment in people living with HIV. \n  \n  \n  \nTerri L.
