Exploring the association between the quality of HIV care in nursing homes and hospitalization.
Persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) are living long enough to need age-related and HIV-related nursing home (NH) care. Nursing home quality of care has been associated with risk for hospitalization, but it is unknown if quality of HIV care in NHs affects hospitalization in this population. In this study, the investigators assessed HIV care quality with four national measures adapted for the NH setting.

Assessing the quality of human immunodeficiency virus care in nursing homes.
Quality of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care in nursing homes (NHs) has never been measured. In this cross-sectional study, the investigators assessed the quality of human immunodeficiency virus care in nursing homes. This study provides previously unknown baseline metrics on NH HIV care quality and highlights significant challenges when measuring HIV care in NHs.

Racial differences in change in physical functioning in older male veterans with HIV.
Little is known about longitudinal change in physical functioning of older African American/Black and White HIV-infected persons. In this study, the investigators examined up to 10 years of data on African American and White men with HIV infection and comparable HIV-negative men age 50-91 years from the Veterans Aging Cohort Study Survey sample.

People living with HIV in U.S. nursing homes in the fourth decade of the epidemic.
This study described the sociodemographic characteristics as well as the antiretroviral therapy treatment and physical and mental health among Medicare-eligible persons living with HIV (PLWH) in nursing homes (NHs). Of the newer admissions, results showed that they were older, had higher prevalence of viral hepatitis and anemia, but had less pneumonia and dementia. NH nurses can better anticipate health care needs of PLWH using these health profiles, understanding that there have been changes in the health of PLWH at admission over time.

Fracture prediction with modified-FRAX in older HIV-infected and uninfected men.
The authors investigated considering HIV as a cause of secondary osteoporosis when calculating FRAX, a clinical fracture risk calculator, in HIV-infected individuals. They found that modified-FRAX underestimated the fracture rates more in older HIV-infected than in otherwise similar uninfected men. and they recommend further studies to determine how to risk stratify for screening and treatment in older HIV-infected individuals.

The influence of race and comorbidity on the timely initiation of antiretroviral therapy among older persons living with HIV/AIDS.
In this article, the investigators examined whether the timely initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) differed by race and comorbidity among older (>/= 50 years) people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The investigators concluded that comorbidities affected timely ART initiation in older PLWHA. They asserted that older PLWHA may benefit from integrating and coordinating HIV care with care for other comorbidities and the development of ART treatment guidelines specific to this population.
