Although the prevalence of frailty in people living with HIV in Greece is uncommon, when combined with pre-frailty over a third of people are affected, which requires attention in clinical practice. The physical and psychological aspects of frailty highlight the need for a holistic approach to prevent or counteract it. The diverse associations of frailty criteria with HIV-related and non-HIV-related factors suggest a possible variation in people's different healthcare needs.
