Methamphetamine Use Among Older Adults Living With HIV: A Qualitative Study

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the motivations and perceived risks of methamphetamine use among older adults living with HIV, particularly in the context of aging and chronic disease management. Through qualitative interviews with 20 participants, the authors identify shifting motivations for use, increasing negative health consequences, and a lack of knowledge regarding harm reduction strategies. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by this population.
