Dr. Barbara Castelnuovo, a distinguished researcher and writer, explores the intersection of AIDS and aging in Sub-Saharan Africa in her article featured on Springer Nature's Research Communities. Her work highlights the unique challenges older adults living with HIV face, involving disrupted family support systems, stigma, and the importance of community solidarity. Dr. Castelnuovo emphasizes the need for tailored health policies to support autonomy and well-being in aging populations affected by HIV.
