Are Older Adults with HIV Aging

Differently?

Are they experiencing accelerated aging?

Considering all of the risk factors that are not

HIV specific –

that hypothesis remains to be proven

•HIV-positive men who smoke can expect to lose almost 8 years off their life expectancy.

• Smokers with HIV were 1.94 times more likely to die than nonsmokers.

• Smokers with HIV were 6.28 times more likely to die of cardiovascular disease

• Smokers with HIV were 2.67 times more likely to die of non-AIDS cancers when compared with nonsmokers

People on HIV Treatment Double Their

Risk of Death by Smoking

This multi-morbidity

contributes to

overlapping injury to

multiple organ systems(Justice 2010; Deeks & Phillips 2009).

The result is the transformation of HIV

infection into a complex chronic

disease associated with multi-

morbidity requiring the attention and

expertise of multiple health care

domains and their providers (Sevick et al.

2007).

Positive Self-Management

Program (PSMP)

What Is PSMP?

►Face-to-face small group program for

people who are HIV positive

►Facilitated by 2 peer Leaders

►Offered in community settings

►Six weeks

►Recently revised 2015

Page 50: National Council on Aging€¦ · Stigma Induced Social Isolation ... Behavioral Health Issues Recovery Status % Ever enrolled in 12-step 62 ... External Changes Thinning and greying

Where is it offered?

► 23 states

► Seven countries

Page 51: National Council on Aging€¦ · Stigma Induced Social Isolation ... Behavioral Health Issues Recovery Status % Ever enrolled in 12-step 62 ... External Changes Thinning and greying

Evidence 1998

►Decrease in symptoms severity

► Increase in self-efficacy

►Trend toward greater exercise in

treatment group

Gifford, Allen L., et al. "Pilot randomized trial of education to improve self-management

skills of men with symptomatic HIV/AIDS." JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency

Syndromes 19.2 (1998): 136-144.

Page 52: National Council on Aging€¦ · Stigma Induced Social Isolation ... Behavioral Health Issues Recovery Status % Ever enrolled in 12-step 62 ... External Changes Thinning and greying

Evidence 2006

►No differences between groups in

medication adherence or symptoms

► Improvement in disclosure worries and in

mastery of HIV skills

Webel, Allison R. "Testing a peer-based symptom management intervention for

women living with HIV/AIDS." AIDS care 22.9 (2010): 1029-1040.

Page 53: National Council on Aging€¦ · Stigma Induced Social Isolation ... Behavioral Health Issues Recovery Status % Ever enrolled in 12-step 62 ... External Changes Thinning and greying

Rationale 2016 PSMP

HIV is now a chronic disease BUT…

► Disclosure continues to be an issue

► Medication adherence is a public health issue

as well as an individual issue

► Sexual orientation and gender identity are

issues for some

Page 54: National Council on Aging€¦ · Stigma Induced Social Isolation ... Behavioral Health Issues Recovery Status % Ever enrolled in 12-step 62 ... External Changes Thinning and greying

What if we want to offer PSMP?

►Many Master Trainers in the United

States

► If someone is already trained in CDSMP,

they can receive cross-training from

Stanford via web videos and webinar

Program Outcomes

63

• 4 – 5 sessions offered per year, with 8 –

10 participants each session

• 80% of participants attend at least 5

sessions

• Clients incorporating self management

tools

• Clients connecting with family members

• Increased support within the group

• Clients reported increased knowledge

“ I’ve met new friends and feel supported.”

“I appreciate being in the presence of other HIV+ folks.”

“I hadn’t felt comfortable in a group situation in the past and appreciated the support of the group”

“I didn’t think I would last a

week but learned so much, I

would take it again”

Barriers to Implementation

• Location to hold the sessions

• Smaller communities where transportation is an issue

• Large geographic areas – clients are spread out

• Making the commitment to attend weekly meetings

• No show after clients register

64

Page 65: National Council on Aging€¦ · Stigma Induced Social Isolation ... Behavioral Health Issues Recovery Status % Ever enrolled in 12-step 62 ... External Changes Thinning and greying

Recommendations for Implementation

• Partner with existing Ryan White provider, or AIDS Service

Organization

• Plan well in advance

• Remove transportation barriers

• Stigma considerations
