Managing the older adult patient with HIV
Managing the older adult patient with HIV[electronic resource] /edited by Giovanni Guaraldi ... [et al.]. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - xxii, 227 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Pathophysiology of HIV/AIDS -- HIV associated non-AIDS conditions in patients aging with HIV -- Comorbid conditions and older adults with HIV -- Frailty in HIV -- Disability -- Geriatric syndromes -- HIV prevention and screening in older adults -- Multidimensional geriatric assessment in older patients with HIV -- Antiretroviral treatment in older patients -- HIV, aging, and polypharmacy -- Nutrition and physical exercise in older patients with HIV -- Smoking cessation in patients with HIV -- Self-management.

This concise, clinically focused pocket guide offers a complete overview of HIV in the older patient and reviews the latest guidelines, treatment options, clinical trials, and management of HIV within this subgroup. The easily accessible text offers infectious disease specialists and other health care professionals with an excellent quick reference tool, with full color tables and figures enhancing the text further. HIV is a chronic disease that affects the immune system, leading to AIDS. As treatments have progressed and patients with HIV are living longer a new aspect has to be taken in to consideration when treating HIV and other conditions. Comorbidities are rife within older adults with HIV, as many of the treatments for HIV cause long-term side effects, such as heart conditions and cancer. Special consideration must be taken to ensure no toxic drug-drug interactions between treatments.
