Finding Our Voices: Older Women With HIV in Resource-Limited Settings

Finding Our Voices: Older Women With HIV in Resource-Limited Settings

In this episode, listen to Dorothy Onyango, patient and patient activist, share her views on the many barriers encountered by aging patients with HIV living in resource-limited settings and the need to work on solutions to overcome such barriers, including:

  • The major burden of poverty affecting access to care/medications, healthcare services (eg, treatment for noncommunicable diseases, home-based care), and social support
  • The added social obstructions to HIV care for older women (eg, sexual reproductive health rights)
  • Potential solutions to support the aging population with HIV to encourage good health and wellness such as:
    • Self-advocacy to provide a voice for patients, especially women
    • A comprehensive public health response
    • Policy changes, including a budget line in the national budget, to ensure the rights of older people
    • AIDS-friendly prevention initiatives (eg, affordable/accessible condoms)
    • Income-generating activities to help older patients with HIV become economically sound
