Predictions of geriatric HIV in 2030.
In 2010, we used our HIV clinic database located in the southern USA to develop a clinical profi le of what HIV infection means at each decade of life, focusing specifi cally on adults older than 50 years. Several of our fi ndings were quite revealing. First, the prevalence of depression and anxiety is largely constant across the lifespan at roughly 40% and 20%, respectively. Second, the averag...
متن کاملHIV seropositivity in a geriatric medical unit.

The evidence that such interventions are effective remains compelling; and although the cost implications are not negligible, the medium to long-term outcomes must be regarded not as complementary, but as integr...
متن کاملHIV Alignments, Database Searches, and Structure Predictions
Analyses of more distantly related HIV and SIV sequences that take as their point of departure an alignment, either of the nucleic acid or amino acid sequences, will only be as sound as the alignment, which is itself an hypothesis. For this reason, many sequence analyses are conducted over only “unambiguously alignable” stretches of sequence, typically stretches for which the similarities are 5...
متن کاملThe ageing of HIV: implications for geriatric medicine.
The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the over 50 age group is increasing as a consequence of younger adults ageing with HIV, in addition to new diagnoses in later life. We conducted searches in MEDLINE for English language studies published between January 1984 and January 2010 using search terms 'HIV', 'AIDS', 'HIV testing' and 'HIV complications' and selected articles relev...
