Thanks to better testing, treatment and healthcare people with HIV are living longer and now having to think about planning for themselves in old age and planning for their partner, family and those close to them.
Old age may seem a long way off but whatever your circumstances, planning ahead can help to take away some of the worry. 
The sorts of questions you may need to think about are:
- Will you have enough money?
- Who will look after you if you are unable to care for yourself?
- Should you make a will?
- Do you want to tell people your wishes about medical treatment if you can no longer make decisions for yourself?
- What will happen to your family and your possessions after you die?
Depending on your health and levels of ability you may have to face these issues at a younger age than those without HIV.
