Advancing integration in the approach to older adults with HIV: perspectives from geriatric and HIV specialists.

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
backgroundThe aging of people with HIV (PWH) is a growing public health concern, with projections indicating that by 2030, up to 70% of this population will be aged 50 years or older. Despite the increasing prevalence of age-related comorbidities and geriatric syndromes in older adults with HIV (OAWH), the integration of geriatric expertise into HIV care remains limited. This study aimed to assess geriatricians' knowledge and involvement in the care of OAWH and to explore HIV specialists' attitudes toward collaborative, multidisciplinary care.
methodsA cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted using two structured online surveys-one for geriatricians and one for HIV specialists-disseminated through national scientific societies in Spain, Italy, Mexico, and Canada. The surveys assessed clinical experience, knowledge, and attitudes toward OAWH care, and were developed by experts with over 15 years of clinical experience. Data were collected anonymously via the REDCap platform and analyzed descriptively.
resultsA total of 348 responses were received: 200 from geriatricians and 148 from HIV specialists. Among geriatricians, 42% correctly identified the age threshold for OAWH, and 73% reported seeing one or no OAWH in the previous year. Furthermore, 92.5% indicated a need for further training. HIV specialists largely recognized the importance of adapting care for OAWH, with 91.2% acknowledging frailty as clinically relevant. However, only 38% routinely performed frailty screening. Both groups expressed support for increased collaboration, though only around half believed that geriatricians should be systematically involved in OAWH care.
conclusionsThis study highlights significant gaps in knowledge, training, and interdisciplinary collaboration in the care of OAWH. While both geriatricians and HIV specialists recognize the unique needs of this population, barriers such as insufficient training and role ambiguity hinder progress. Our findings support earlier, biologically informed interventions and integration of geriatrics into routine HIV care; targeted training and institutional support appear warranted.
