In Part 1 of this series on Understanding HIV in Older Adults, Drs. Mark Brennan-Ing (Senior Research Scientist, ‎Brookdale Center for Healthy Aging, Hunter College, CUNY) and Molly Perkins (Associate Professor, School of Medicine and Graduate Faculty of Emory Sociology, Emory University) discuss social networks, isolation, and social supports among older adults living with HIV; resilience as a way to address stigma; the diversity of those who are living with HIV; internalized ageism; and the use of crisis competence to learn from HIV survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
