Description
Zhengyan Wang, Wendy Patterson, and Deepa Rajulu present a 2024 report on older people living with HIV in New York State. Better treatment has let many people with HIV reach older age. The authors profiled everyone aged fifty and over in the state registry through 2021.
Compared with younger patients, the older group more often reported heterosexual transmission and included more women. Among new diagnoses in 2021, older people were more likely to be found at stage three, the most advanced stage. By the end of 2021, fifty-seven percent of people living with diagnosed HIV in the state were fifty or older. Deaths from cardiovascular disease were rising in this group. The authors urge better clinician training and sexual health talks with older adults.
