The Healthy HIV Aging Program helps people age 50 and older who are living with HIV and receive care at STAR Health Center–Downstate.
As people with HIV live longer, they may need extra support with aging, medications, chronic health conditions, mental health, mobility, social connection, and staying in care. This program brings STAR team members together to help patients stay healthy, independent, and connected.

How We Can Help
In addition to your routine HIV primary care, services may include:
Team-Based Care
The Healthy HIV Aging Program uses a team approach. Your care team may include medical providers, nurses, care coordinators, patient navigators, a pharmacist, behavioral health staff, a social worker, and other STAR staff.
Together, the team works with you to create a care plan based on your needs, goals, and priorities.
Supporting the Whole Person
Healthy aging is about more than medical visits. The program can help with:
Your Voice Matters
The program is designed to be respectful, welcoming, and nonjudgmental. STAR listens to patients through conversations, surveys, focus groups, and the Community Advisory Group, so services reflect the real needs of people aging with HIV.
