Today is National HIV and Aging Awareness Day (NHAAD). In 2021, there were 441,259 people aged 55 and older living with HIV, representing 41% of the U.S. population living with HIV. We must pay attention to the increasing number of people living long, full lives with HIV and their unique health and social needs, as well as the challenges of HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care in older adults.
