“…Since 2007, the rate was 10% in low-and middle-income countries, and approximately 30% in high-income countries [15]. However, older adults infected with HIV were largely neglected by the prevention community, partly due to a lack of data regarding their sexual behaviour and the emphasis on younger individuals [13]. Since the widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and pre-exposure prophylaxis, life expectancy has increased over time.…”

“…HIV infections have significant implications for the long-term health and well-being of older people. Older PLWH are often at a greater risk of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis [ 13 ]. No doubt, HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) infections among older people are significant public health issues.…”

“…No doubt, HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) infections among older people are significant public health issues. This is due to the increasing aging population, the substantial economic burden, poverty, and isolation [ 13 ]. The number of HIV-infected older adults has also grown from 2004 to 2015, with significant increases at an annual average change of 2.1% in Europe [ 14 ].…”

We aimed to assess the burden and trend of the HIV/AIDS epidemic among older adults over the past three decades at different geographical levels, based on the data collected from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) study 2019. This assessment identified the average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) using Joinpoint regression analysis. Globally, the incidence of HIV/AIDS has decreased (AAPC = À3.107); however, the overall prevalence has consistently increased (AAPC = 5.557). Additionally, both mortality (AAPC = 2.166) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs; AAPC = 2.429) have increased. The highest increasing trends in female HIV/AIDS incidence and prevalence were observed in the Central Asia region. However, for males, these trends were observed in the Oceania region and the high-income Asia Pacific region, respectively. In recent decades, females aged 70-74 years had the highest incidence and prevalence, while males aged 70-74 years had highest mortality and DALYs in low social development index (SDI) regions. Unsafe sex resulted in 15 381.16 deaths, accounting for 90.73% of all HIV/AIDS deaths, and 331 140.56 DALYs, accounting for 91.12% of all HIV/AIDS DALYs. The HIV/AIDS disease burden differs by region, age, and sex among older adults. Sexual health education and targeted screening for older adults are recommended.

“…In the USA, 1 in 6 HIV diagnoses were older adults, and around half of the people living with HIV were above 50 years old [10][11][12]. The number of HIV-infected older adults has also grown in Europe [13]. Epidemiological studies in China found an increasing trend in the number and proportion of HIV infections among older adults [5,14].…”

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been widely prevalent among older men (aged ≥50 years old) in Sichuan Province. The study aimed to discover associated factors with the new HIV infection in older men, and provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of AIDS in this group. A cross-sectional survey study of newly reported HIV/AIDS and general male residents aged 50 years and older was conducted between April-June 2019, with a resample of respondents to identify cases and controls, followed by a case-control study. Logistic regression was applied to analyze the association between the selected factors and new HIV infection among older men. At last, 242 cases and 968 controls were included. The results of multiple logistic regression suggested that many factors including living alone/concentrated (OR=1.

“…For instance, around half of the people living with HIV were above 50 years old in the USA ( High et al, 2012 ; Hosaka et al, 2019 ). In Europe, the number of adults aged 50 years or above living with HIV has been also growing ( Seeley, 2017 ). A study in Chongqing, China found that the number of newly HIV infected persons aged over 50 years has increased six-fold from 1,091 in 2004 to 6,352 in 2015 ( Zhang, Rongrong & Guohui, 2017a ).…”

There is an increasing prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in older adults in China, but the findings across prevalence studies have been mixed. This is the first meta-analysis of the prevalence of HIV infection and its moderating factors in older adults in China. Two investigators systematically and independently searched both international (PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Sciences and EMBASE) and Chinese (WanFang, CNKI, and CQVIP) databases. HIV infection rates in older adults were analyzed using the random-effects model. Altogether 46 studies were included in the analysis. The pooled prevalence of HIV infection in older adults was 2.1% (95% CI [1.9%–2.3%], I2 = 99.4%). Subgroup analyses revealed that men who have sex with men (MSM), hospital population samples, publications after 2014, studies conducted in the western region of China, and higher study quality were significantly associated with higher HIV infection rate. This meta-analysis found that the HIV infection prevalence in older adults is significantly higher than the general population in China. Attention should be given to this urgent public health issue, and effective HIV/AIDS preventive, screening and treatment measures are warranted in this population. PROSPERO: CRD42019124286.
