Research Article: A Qualitative Exploration of Perceived Medication Adherence Determinants Conducted Among Older Adults with HIV and Type Diabetes Mellitus

Date Published: 2023-10-31

Abstract:
Four decades into the HIV epidemic, treatment regimens have vastly improved and increased life expectancies for people living with HIV (PLWH). Due to the natural aging process and factors related to HIV and antiviral treatment itself, PLWH are now living longer and are more likely to develop comorbid conditions over their lifetime, including type diabetes (TDM). National data show that the incidence of TDM among PLWH is four times higher than among the general population. Compared with the general population, adults with comorbid HIV and TDM (HIV+TDM) are also more likely to experience worse outcomes, including chronic kidney disease, cognitive impairment, and mortality.–
