Abstrakt: The article discusses about aging in human beings, both that are HIV-positive and negative. There are physical changes that occur in aging including cataracts in the eyes, shrinking of muscle strength and volume, and thinning of the skin. A study showed that HIV can impact aging when it found that 165 people with HIV that are aged over 55 years had high blood pressure, diabetes, and pulmonary diseases.
