Raphaël Depallens, Swiss AIDS Federation

A brief look back at the Glasgow Manifesto - born in 2022 at the conference and launched during the EATG session. 125 recommendations from organisations: 

• Develop a model of care for PLHIV 
• Raise awareness among care providers 
• Change policy to meet unsatisfactory housing needs, etc. 
• More targeted research and education 
• Include seniors living with HIV 
• ... 

For quality of life and to die with dignity and consideration. 

A clear and precise framework, but also nothing about us without us!

Prof. Giovanni Guaraldi's inspiring presentation on ageing with HIV. There were 4 key points. Firstly, listening to seniors living with HIV: experts in the fight against stigma. Secondly, changing care management from a focus on HIV to holistic support. But also institutional strategies and educational programmes that encourage appropriate, stigma-free support. In conclusion, HIV offers a unique immunological and psychopathological model of ageing, which needs to be (studied).

In Switzerland, there are no studies on this subject, despite the fact that more than half the population living with HIV is aged 50 or over.
