Aging With HIV in Nigeria: A Narrative Review of Multimorbidity and Healthcare Access Challenges.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: The population of older adults living with HIV (OALHIV) in Nigeria is growing, bringing forth a dual challenge of chronic comorbidities and barriers to adequate healthcare. This narrative review aims to synthesize empirical evidence on multimorbidity, treatment access, and systemic healthcare gaps affecting OALHIV in Nigeria. Methods: A structured narrative review was conducted using peer-reviewed articles and institutional reports published between 2005 and 2024. Searches were performed across PubMed, Google Scholar, African Journals Online (AJOL), ScienceDirect, and WHO and UNAIDS databases. Eligible studies focused on individuals aged 50 years and older living with HIV in Nigeria and addressed at least one of the following themes: chronic disease burden, healthcare access, mental health, or socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Results: Findings show that multimorbidity is common among OALHIV; yet, HIV programs rarely integrate screening for non-communicable diseases. Gender disparities further shape access: older women often face economic hardship, while older men are more likely to delay care-seeking. Depression and social isolation are frequently reported but rarely addressed within existing care frameworks. Structural barriers such as poverty and limited social protection hinder consistent ART adherence and engagement in care. Conclusion: OALHIV in Nigeria face intersecting clinical, economic, and psychosocial burdens that are under-recognized in the current HIV response. There is an urgent need for integrated service delivery models, mental health integration, and sustainable financing strategies. Future research should prioritize longitudinal and qualitative studies on aging with HIV, especially concerning multimorbidity, stigma, and structural inequality.
