The research considered how the concept of \u2018community\u2019 was relevant to women\u2019s experiences and what constructions of \u2018community\u2019 could be discerned in the experiences, accounts given and discourses employed by older women living with HIV.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The research presented in this article was conducted as a PhD study between 2015 and 2019. The study was structured in multiple and overlapping phases, and adopted a feminist and participatory approach. The methods used in the research were as follows: participatory literature review, participatory creative workshops, policy review and stakeholder interviews, life story interviews, and a participatory analysis workshop.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighteen women living with HIV aged over 50 participated in creative workshops and fourteen women in life story interviews. Women\u2019s experiences of ageing with HIV are shaped by intersecting identities, community responses, and personal connections. Ageing with HIV brings challenges, added to and augmented by other difficulties women face in their lives, but women draw on individual and community assets in order to adapt, cope and thrive. Belonging to a community of women living with HIV and a broader community of people living with HIV created a vital space of safety, in which women found support, advice, and meaning.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Women ageing with HIV countered the \u2018violence of invisibility\u2019 through forming community with other women living with HIV, rejecting stigma, and enacting a personal form of advocacy through care for others.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17455057221095911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,23]],"date-time":"2022-04-23T02:53:51Z","timestamp":1650682431000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["\u2018It feels like my visibility matters\u2019: Women ageing with HIV overcoming the \u2018violence of invisibility\u2019 through community, advocacy and the radical act of care for others"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1281-1607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacqui","family":"Stevenson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher and Advocate, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-17455057221095911","unstructured":"Sophia Forum Terrence Higgins Trust.
