Study Examins Aging and HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa

While much of the literature we read on aging and HIV/AIDS is centered in the United States, the pattern of longer survival exists in other geographical areas throughout the world. In the most recent issue of the World Health Organization Bulletin, Negin and Cummings publish a study on aging and HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. Their findings suggest that in 2007, more than 3 million people age 50 years or older were living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa.
