The pilot is an intervention of a geriatric assessment and management tool (PATH) in outpatient HIV clinics.
This will be a Pilot, two-arm, randomized parallel-group, clinical trial with blinded research staff of a Geriatric assessment and management tool vs usual care to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the tool on quality of life for older adults with HIV.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 50 or older * Receive HIV care (at least 1 visit at the same site within the past 12 months) from either Eskenazi Health IDC or LifeCare clinics, * Able to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are long-term nursing home residents * Patients who are receiving geriatric care services, however will liberalize this criteria if difficulty with recruitment
For the intervention arm, participants will be sent geriatric assessment questions through the patient portal in advance of a routine HIV appointment. If the participant is unable to complete the questions in advance, they will be done with the help of a research coordinator to go through on the day of appointment. Every attempt will be made to ensure the assessment can be done in advance of the appointment, however the study team will allow for visits after the regular appointment as in which case the provider will receive results after the patient has left clinic. The provider will receive the PATH assessment responses and a discussion guide with suggested initial management steps. The provider ultimately determines with the participant when and if they will address concerns identified (that visit or future visit) based on participant priorities. The patient participant will also receive a copy of their screening results.
