Perspectives on Continuing Care, From Home Care to Long‐Term Care, for Older People Living With HIV: A Cross‐Sectional Study
We certify that this work is novel clinical research that provides insight into the values and preferences of older people living with HIV regarding continuing care (from home care to supportive living and long-term care). This work is the foundation for creating meaningful, structural changes to how continuing care is provided to older people living with HIV, an underrepresented and equity-deserving group. Despite a need, many older PLWH are hesitant to accept home care or move into supportive, facility-based living. This leaves a potential void in the necessary provision of care. This must be addressed to ensure equity, diversity, and inclusion, and to remove barriers in accessing health and social supports. To start, healthcare providers and policymakers must educate staff about the ongoing stigma and discrimination experienced by older PLWH and demonstrate to patients the value placed on patient privacy and confidentiality.
