Medizinische Rundreise - Positiv alt werden

Thanks to modern medical advances and effective treatments, people living with HIV now have a significantly higher life expectancy. However, this also raises the question of what long-term effects this entails: Which consequences are attributable to the HIV infection itself, which to long-term treatment, and which to the natural aging process?

We will also examine how specific behaviors and a healthy lifestyle can support positive and as healthy an aging process as possible.

What is this about?

Aging & Aging Processes

• What does aging mean?
• Basic information on aging with and without HIV infection
• Which organ systems are particularly affected in aging HIV-positive individuals?
• What impact does HIV infection and treatment have on the aging process?

Fit for Life – What Can I Do to Take Care of Myself?

• Can aging processes be positively influenced by one’s own behavior?
• Topics: Consumption of stimulants, exercise, nutrition, relaxation, dietary supplements, preventive medical care, social environment
