Special Considerations Related to Aging in Persons With HIV
Summary
- Many older patients do not consider themselves to be at risk for acquiring HIV infection and are often absent from education campaigns[Grabar 2006; Lyles 2007; Pratt 2010]
- Risk counseling is especially important for older individuals who become newly single, as older persons are less likely to use condoms[Schick 2010]
- Persons being treated for erectile dysfunction have higher rates of incident HIV infection and are another important risk group[Jena 2010]
