“…This study did not measure the HIV status of the participants. In fact, elderly abuse among older PLWHA has never been systematically evaluated aside from several case studies however, evidence indicates regardless of age PLWHA experience higher rates of lifetime abuse and neglect (Goel et al 2018). Medical conditions that often present comorbidly with HIV/AIDS such as diabetes, hypertension, CAD, fractures, stroke, and cancer have been shown to be highly correlated with elderly abuse (Lachs and Pillemer 2015).…”

“…Medical conditions that often present comorbidly with HIV/AIDS such as diabetes, hypertension, CAD, fractures, stroke, and cancer have been shown to be highly correlated with elderly abuse (Lachs and Pillemer 2015). Within the context of HIV, older adults are at higher risk for HIV associated cognitive disorders (HAND) and individuals with poor cognition have been implicated to be at higher risk for elder abuse (Goel et al 2018;Lachs and Pillemer 2004;Milanini et al 2017).…”

The advent and uptake of effective antiviral therapies has transformed HIV/AIDS into a chronic manageable illness. The majority of Americans living with HIV are now ages 50 and older. Given the confluence of aging and HIV, chronic pain among older persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has emerged as an area of clinical importance. Treatment of pain among this population is complex due to the prevalence of substance abuse and psychiatric illness in the population as well as the challenges of disentangling how inflammation associated with aging and HIV interact to predispose pain. Through a review of the extant literature we examine the complex associations between substance use, mental health, psychosocial issues, and chronic pain using a biopsychosocial framework in order to provide a means of addressing the agingchronic pain link in older PLWHA. Using this frame, we then consider treatment implications for the population.
