With the aging of the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, we are now faced with unprecedented and complex challenges, which need to be addressed in order to maximize care of the older HIV-infected population. Older persons have greater comorbidity than their younger counterparts. The compound effects of HIV infection, its treatment and increasing age on the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular disease, malignancies, cognitive impairment, depression and frailty are of increasing concern.
