Women are living longer with HIV infection. How best to manage the multiple co-morbidities and polypharmacy that are a hallmark of HIV infected individuals has not been studied. We explore incorporating principles of gerontology, particularly multimorbidity and polypharmacy, to optimize the health of HIV infected women. Multimorbidity and polypharmacy are important issues for HIV infected women. Incorporating a gerontologic approach may optimize outcomes until research provides more definitive answers as to how best to collaborate with HIV infected women to provide them with optimal care. A case study is used to guide the discussion.
感染艾滋病毒的女性寿命在延长。如何最好地管理艾滋病毒感染者所特有的多种合并症和多种药物治疗问题尚未得到研究。我们探索纳入老年医学原则，特别是多重疾病和多种药物治疗，以优化感染艾滋病毒女性的健康状况。多重疾病和多种药物治疗是感染艾滋病毒女性的重要问题。在研究就如何最好地与感染艾滋病毒的女性合作以提供最佳护理给出更明确的答案之前，采用老年医学方法可能会优化治疗结果。本文通过一个案例研究来指导讨论。
