Abstract Although older women living with HIV (OWLH) face challenges related to the intersection of HIV and aging, our published research found significant prevalence of self-rated successful aging (SRSA) in a sample of OWLH enrolled in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). Studies in other populations link SRSA to positive psychosocial factors but little is known about SRSA mechanisms among OWLH. The purpose of this study is to test a conceptual psychosocial model of SRSA. Our sample (N=356) included OWLH enrolled in WIHS who participated in the “From Surviving to Thriving” (FROST) substudy and completed psychosocial and cognitive assessments: average age 56.5 years, 73% Black, 55% with annual income ≤ $12,000, 74% having 3 or more comorbidities, median CD4=673 cells/ml (Q1=486; Q3=880). SRSA was assessed using a research-based 10-point scale (higher scores=better outcomes). We conducted adjusted structural equation modeling. The global model included two latent variables -- protective attributes (composite of positive psychosocial factors: resilience, personal mastery, optimism, spirituality) and negative affect (composite of negative psychosocial factors: anxiety, depression, loneliness, internalized HIV-related stigma). The model showed good fit (χ2(65)=72.3, p=0.25; RMSE=0.02; CFI=0.99) and explained 21% of variance in SRSA. Increased protective attributes were associated with improved SRSA both directly (p<0.01) and indirectly, via improved coping with stress (p<0.001). While negative affect did not have a direct effect on SRSA, it was indirectly associated with worsened SRSA via diminished protective attributes (p<0.001). Findings suggest the need for interventions enhancing positive and mitigating negative psychosocial factors to promote SRSA among OWLH.

Abstract Background Women living with HIV (WLH) lack evidence-based information about reproductive options while managing pressures from family, clinicians, and communities to give up the idea of having children. As the reproduction intentions of WLH are not well understood, stigmatizing behaviors force them to hide their disease to avoid rejection by their family, partner, and social networks. Compliance with social norms, fear of stigma, and discrimination influence their experience. Current research is individual qualitative studies lacking the synthesis perspective necessary to guide intervention development. The purpose of this study was to synthesize the evidence to explain the reproductive decision-making process for WLH in developed countries. Methods A systematic review with qualitative research synthesis was conducted through searches in 10 electronic databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus, Social Science Citation Index, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Cuidatge, Cuiden Enfispo, and SciELO). Studies published in journals from 1995 to 2019 with qualitative data about reproductive decision-making among WLH in developed countries were eligible for inclusion. Developed country was operationalized by membership in the OECD for comparative conditions of social wellbeing and economic stability. The CASP and JBI checklists for qualitative research were used to assess study quality and methodological integrity. Thematic analysis and qualitative meta-summary techniques were used for the synthesis. Results Twenty studies from 12 developed countries were included in the synthesis. Findings were organized into 3 meta-themes from 15 themes and 45 subthemes, including: (1) Shattered identity, (2) Barriers, inequities, and misinformation, (3) Coping, resiliency, and support. Reproductive decision-making was perceived as a complex process influenced by facilitators and barriers. The facilitators helped WLH cope with their new situation to become more resilient, while the barriers made their situation more difficult to manage. Conclusion WLH encounter reproductive decision-making with knowledge deficits and limited social support. An integrated approach to holistic care with comprehensive multidisciplinary counseling is needed to support WLH. Clinicians could benefit from professional development to learn how to be authentically present for WLH, including engaging in conversations, demonstrating compassion, and understanding situations. Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines need to be tailored for the family planning and sexual health needs of WLH.

Abstract Little is known about successful aging (SA) among older (50+) women living with HIV (OWLH). Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was to examine subjective understandings of SA among OWLH. Participants were OWLH enrolled in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) and those not enrolled in WIHS: 8 in Atlanta, GA (3 WIHS and 5 non-WIHS) and 9 in Brooklyn, NY (6 WIHS and 3 non-WIHS). Semi-structured interviews ranged from 30 to 120 minutes. Several themes emerged in participants’ definitions of SA, e.g. self-care, taking HIV medications, and being resilient (“HIV made me stronger”). Both WIHS and non-WIHS participants emphasized life course perspective in their definitions of SA -- women viewed their aging successful as a more stable phase of life in contrast to hardships they experienced while being younger (e.g., drug use, incarceration). Data collection efforts are ongoing and will allow further characterization of SA among this population.
