HIV is now a chronic illness, making it urgent to address social factors affecting health outcomes. A review of studies from the last decade on mental health interventions for sexual and gender minority older adults living with HIV found only two studies for inclusion. The review identifies several emerging intervention models tailored to this group: age-sensitive and culturally adapted therapies, mindfulness and meditation-based stress reduction, group therapy, digital mental health resources, and psilocybin-assisted group therapy. These approaches aim to meet the unique needs of this population.
