Empowering Patients to “Age Healthy” With HIV - a podcast by Clinical Care Options

In this episode, Cristina Mussini, MD, shares her approach to caring for aging patients with HIV. This includes not just focusing on their HIV, but their over well-being, such as:

• Maintaining a healthy weight, eating healthy and staying mobile 
• Overcoming the obstacle of stigma from society and self-stigma
• Empowering patients to care for themselves
• In women who are often caregivers most of their life:
  • Encouraging self-care
  • Staying up to date with preventive care such as cancer screenings (eg, mammography, annual Pap smear, and colonoscopy)
• Teaching patients to love themselves
• Making sure the patient knows you truly care for them
