The greying of people living with HIV is a matter of fact in both industrialized and resource-limited countries and future projections clearly indicate that HIV disease will intersect geriatric medicine. Come join (in-person or online) to discuss challenges for the clinical care of the aging population with HIV and discuss the research gaps and opportunities for a “geriatric-HIV” science in its infancy.
