dotHRSA CAREAction Addresses the Graying of HIV

Note: HIV/AIDS is increasingly prevalent among persons older than 50, mostly because many HIV-infected people receiving appropriate care are living into middle and old age. However, new infections among older Americans are increasing, according to the latest issue of HRSA CAREAction, "The Graying of HIV." According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 15 percent of new HIV/AIDS cases occur in people age 50 or older. More than 25,000 people age 50 or older were diagnosed with HIV between 2003 and 2006.
