Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal participants are HIV-positive individuals aged 75 or older who are affiliated with the French social security system and capable of consenting to an interview.

Probably not a fit

Patients unwilling or unable to participate or with severe cognitive impairment that prevents interview participation may not benefit from the study.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on people living with HIV who are 75 years or older and receive care at Nice University Hospital. It will collect quantitative data and gather insights from interviews with advanced practice nurses to understand polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate prescriptions. The goal is to identify care pathways that address complex needs and support healthy aging as defined by WHO guidelines. No experimental drug interventions are involved; the study uses observational data to inform future care optimization. Results may inform adjustments to clinical pathways to improve safety and quality of life for this high-risk group.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, findings could lead to better-personalized medication management and care plans for very elderly PLHIV.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work in geriatric HIV care suggests care optimization can reduce polypharmacy-related risks, though this specific age group and setting is novel.
