Caring for Older People with HIV: Moving Beyond Viral Suppression to Promote Healthy Aging

This workshop will present the 6Ms, a simplified approach to geriatric principles for HIV care: Mobility, Mentation, Medications, Matters Most, Multicomplexity, and Modifiable. The role of the 6Ms in clinical care and identification of older adults at greatest need will be considered; clinical models of geriatric care with potential for widespread implementation will be presented.

Learning Objectives

1. Educate HIV providers on how to incorporate geriatric concepts into clinical care using the 6Ms framework.
2. Discuss current geriatric-HIV models of care.
3. Provide specific and unique approaches to implementing geriatric concepts into HIV care that can be adapted by individual Ryan White-funded HIV clinics.
