A study led by Stephanie Shiau, an assistant professor at Rutgers School of Public Health, reveals that women living with HIV experience accelerated DNA aging, potentially leading to compromised physical function. Published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, the research highlights the challenges faced by women with HIV as they age and emphasizes the need for tailored interventions to improve health outcomes. Women with HIV are shown to have higher rates of bone loss, increasing their risk of fractures as they age. The study, which focused on 195 HIV-positive women aged 40 to 60, found that they exhibited an accelerated aging process compared to their chronological age. This acceleration was also observed in HIV-negative women who struggled with certain physical functions. The findings underscore the importance of further research to understand the implications of accelerated aging in individuals living with HIV. The study's co-authors hail from institutions in New York, Illinois, and California.
