In the context of an emerging aging epidemic affecting people living with HIV (PLWH), we critically discuss existing data regarding two different conceptual models of aging - frailty and intrinsic capacity respectively, both in a clinical and public health perspective. These constructs have not yet been integrated in the general population. Nevertheless, the holistic HIV care, that goes beyond the viro-immunological success, may offer an ideal setting to test a possible integration of these models in older adults living with HIV. We suggest a new framework to assess health in PLWH, shifting from an infectious diseases (ID)/internal medicine approach, which includes quality of life in the definition of healthy living with HIV, to an ID/geriatric medicine approach, focused on the maintenance of functional ability in frail and geriatric PLWH.
