About the research

Developed in collaboration with Positive Women Inc, this report shares the key findings and recommendations from a community-led research project on the experiences of people ageing with HIV in Aotearoa New Zealand. The research focus was on honouring the voices and lived experiences of participants. Grounded in the principles of manaakitanga and whanaungatanga, the report offers nine key recommendations, paving the way for future actions where respect, dignity, hauora, and connectedness are prioritised.

In response to the report recommendation, Toitū te Ao in collaboration with Positive Women Inc and Burnett Foundation Aotearoa, initiated the first online resource to help improve the hauora of people living with HIV, and ageing, by providing:

  • non-clinical information and tools for Kaimahi | Support Workers

  • information and support for people living and ageing with HIV.

This website is grounded in te Ao Māori hauora (Māori worldview of health and wellbeing) and is founded on respect and compassionate care.
