"For us here, we remind ourselves": strategies and barriers to ART access and adherence among older Ugandans.

These barriers were similar to those outlined for younger populations in other studies, but were compounded by age.

Older persons living with HIV highlighted health care needs for non-HIV-related illnesses, suggesting while HIV care is adequate, care for the ailments of "old age" is lagging.
