NCT ID NCT07192419
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study is testing a new tool called PATH that helps doctors assess the unique health needs of people aged 50 and older living with HIV. Participants will answer questions about their health through a patient portal or with a research coordinator before a routine HIV appointment. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helpful for both patients and providers, with the hope of improving care and quality of life for older adults with HIV.
