Successful aging among people with HIV/AIDS.

With advances made in the treatment of people with HIV/AIDS, there is an increasing number of persons who are reaching old age. This is a heterogeneous group. Yet, all of these diverse patients share in common the challenge of aging successfully despite their condition. There is little room in most gerontological conceptualizations for consideration of success for older persons unfortunate enough to live with chronic and particularly life-threatening illnesses in late life. Ideals of successful aging certainly leave little room for older adults with HIV/AIDS, a highly stigmatized, life-threatening, and disabling condition. In this article, we briefly review a new model of successful aging that we have developed, and show how it can be meaningfully applied to expectations of successful aging even among disabled and chronically ill populations of older adults such as persons with HIV/AIDS.
