Prior to World AIDS day, Richard Blewitt, CEO of Help Age International and Winnie Sseruma, Advocacy and Networks Officer of Christian Aid, speak about the specific challenges facing older people living with HIV. For example, people living with HIV experience illnesses usually associated with old age a lot earlier. Winnie speaks from experience as she has been living with HIV for 23 years and experienced the menopause in her 40s. She explains the complicated interaction between ARVs and drugs for other conditions and how many health workers, especially in the developing world, do not understand how to deal with this.
