Access to HIV Medication in the Community Versus a Nursing Home for the Medicare Eligible HIV population

Access to appropriate antiretroviral therapy (ART) is key to people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) living a near normal life time, which has resulted in increasing numbers of PLWH requiring nursing home care for age-related reasons.

description Access to appropriate antiretroviral therapy (ART) is key to people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) living a near normal life time, which has resulted in increasing numbers of PLWH requiring nursing home care for age-related reasons. However, one study found that 21% of Medicare eligible PLWH in US nursing homes between 2011 and 2013 were not dispensed ART through the nursing home pharmacy. Cost-sharing assistance programs exist to facilitate access to medications for low-income community dwelling older adults, but these programs do not necessarily extend to people admitted to a nursing home, which may cause interruptions in access to ART for PLWH in this setting. Policies may need to be updated to reduce drug-related financial burden to PLWH and nursing homes in order to maintain continued access to ART in the nursing home setting.
