Growing Concern over HIV/AIDS in China's Elderly

An artice in China Today discusses the growing concern over HIV/AIDS in China's elderly population and the response to improve safe sex messages to the older adult population. The article indicates that "the rise in infection among older people [is associated with] abundant and cheap commercial sex, as well as an increasingly active gay community." The concern reminds us of the diversity among HIV disease and older people and that treatment approaches as well as prevention messages need to be aimed at the target population.
