I have been accessing my medical care at a large clinic tailored to hiv/aids since Ii moved to CA from NYC tri- state area . Had moved 3,000 across the USA to be part of a clinical trial to cure myselfbof hepatitis C with one pill a day drug. My great ID doctor retired when Covid hit. Am finding it impossible to communicate with any of my healthcare team. Cannot even get a live person on phone to ask a question. The clinic used to NOT BE THIS WAY. You could always call and speak to a reception
I am a woman who has been + since 1987. I live in a rural area and our ASO Clinic has decided to open up to the common public. I live in a state where they set the COL so low most people, even on disability don't qualify if they had a good job. However, this was a survey about aging. Women have a lot more than "cancer" issues when it comes to aging. But, I really don't think your target audience is me anyway.
I’ve personally not experienced much different
78 year old man living in San Diego, CA. HIV+ since 1980 and AIDS since 1990. I am one of the lucky ones that got to live. In addition to some of the usual conditions that come with aging - high blood pressure, BPH, high cholesterol, hearing loss, and quirky vision - I also live with PTSD and HAND. More important than healthcare are two factors that keep me in good working order, volunteering and socialization.
After many years of Living With HIV, I am struggling with basic things like housing and food. Every day is an adventure.
some of the responses should really have had a does not apply or similar option
The survey for some typical woke ignorance. White is not an ethnicity but a race. Question about discrimination does not have a "No" as a choice. You can't imagine the world without some kind of discrimination?! Same for Government assistance. Some of us manage without it but there is no choice for that.

It's been 17 years since I was diagnosed HIV, progressed to AIDS, then back to HIV, and now at undetectable. I look great "on paper", but little things started catching up on me a few years back.
