Abstract
Background: Older people living with human immunodeficiency virus (OPLWHIV) on antiretrovi-ral therapy are aging and face an increased risk of non-communicable diseases. The burden is costly and demands sustainable care for HIV comorbidity. The aim is to understand the experiences of OPLWHIV comorbidity attending healthcare services. Methods: The 28 reviewed articles focused on experiences of OPLWHIV comorbidity attending healthcare services. The scoping review employed content analysis. A literature search was conducted on databases like PubMed, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and Subnet. Articles were restricted to English and published between 2013 and 2024. The study population included 50–85 years old. Results: OPLWHIV comor-bidity needs standardized, coordinated, and resourced healthcare services because of the unique difficulties of older adults. Conclusions: OPLWHIV comorbidity experienced difficulties accessing coordinated services addressing complex pharmacoeconomics and psycho-social issues in resourced primary health care institutions, with promotive and preventive care to strengthen the healthcare system.
