The paper examines the impact of multiple forms of stigma related to sexual orientation, HIV status, and Age on the Quality of Life (QOL) of Elderly Gay men with HIV. The study concludes that the combination of these experiences have significant impact on the QOL of the participants, however, social support, HIV support group participation, and use of problem- focused coping strategies may help combat with these multiple forms of stigma and improve QOL for older gay men living with HIV.
