Abstract:Conclusions: Our findings support a framework for understanding happiness in the context of social interactions among older HIV+ adults. While participants became more tired and had increasing reports of pain over the course the day, they experienced greater happiness when spending time with others compared to being alone. Clinical interventions that promote social engagement and strategies to reduce the presence of pain and fatigue may positively impact well-being in this growing population.
