Summary

The overall goal of the proposal is to improve capacity for detection and management of non-communicable diseases and geriatric syndromes in the aging HIV population in sub-Saharan Africa

Detailed description

The establishment and scale up of solid and sustainable HIV programs in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has led to a reduction in mortality and morbidity from HIV related opportunistic infections and some HIV related cancers. This improved survival has resulted in two phenomena: the first is the surfacing of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the HIV population, especially in those on long-term ART, and the second is increased longevity leading to increasing numbers of elderly HIV infected individuals

Conditions

• HIV Infections
• Non Communicable Diseases
• Aging
