Health profiles of foreign-born elderly women with HIV in Italy
FWLH in a geriatric cohort showed a profile of immune imbalance and higher weight, BMI, and multimorbidity; this may be possibly related to a worse metabolic profile and poorer access to care. However, there was no difference in virological response and antiretroviral therapies. Enhancing our understanding of older FWLH is crucial for promoting person-centered care a patient-centred care and healthy ageing in this population.
