Abstract
This study was performed to better understand the health concerns of mature Midwestern women living with HIV and to offer health care providers information about the spectrum of medical and psychosocial needs of this population. Individual interviews were conducted with 18 low-income women who were 41 to 68 years of age. Interviews showed multiple needs that encompassed both physical and emotional health: more frequent health screenings, the ability to differentiate symptoms of advancing HIV from those of aging, desire for knowledge about reasonable expectations for aging women with HIV, and attention to emotional health needs and social support. Interventions aimed at helping mature HIV-infected women cope as they age, education about the normal aging process, consumer information about appropriate timing of health care screenings, and mechanisms to facilitate the creation of social support networks to decrease isolation seem to be needed in this population.
