Antiretroviral therapy has dramatically increased the lifespan of people living with HIV (PLWH), but advance care planning (ACP) and hospice services are underutilized in this population. The purpose of this study was to understand barriers and facilitators to ACP among this group. PLWH (n = 25) were recruited from an HIV Clinic at a Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in Atlanta, GA to represent a range of sociodemographic characteristics and experiences. Semi-structured interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. More than half of participants (64%) indicated not engaging in ACP. We identified four key barriers to ACP: (1) a self-image among PLWH as "survivors" (and a reluctance to think about ACP); (2) a history of mistrust and mistreatment; (3) weak social ties and a desire to avoid disclosure of HIV status; and (4) a value for self-reliance. Findings have important implications for interventions to overcome these barriers.
