‘We are fragile, but we are strong’: A qualitative study of perspectives, experiences and priority outcomes for people living with <scp>HIV</scp> and frailty

Holistic management plans must recognize the physical and psycho-social impact of frailty and prioritize slowing its progression and reducing its impact on independence.
