老年艾滋病毒-1血清反应阳性者的心理社会特征基本上没有得到调查。在这篇文章中，作者回顾了迄今为止关于这一不断增长的HIV-1感染者亚组的心理社会背景的研究报告。具体而言，作者考虑了50岁以上的个体在适应HIV-1感染时更可能采取的情绪状态、生活压力源负担、社会支持网络和应对策略的特征。作者还单独考虑了举证责任问题。数据支持理论为基础的压力支持应对模式，并针对这个年龄组的心理治疗干预。
Older HIV-1-seropositive individuals largely have not been investigated with respect to their psychosocial characteristics. In this article, the authors review research reported to date regarding the psychosocial context of this growing subgroup of HIV-1-infected individuals. Specifically, the authors consider the characteristics of mood state, life stressor burden, social support network, and coping strategies that individuals older than 50 years are more likely to adopt in adjusting to HIV-1 infection. The authors also separately consider issues of caregiving burden. Data supporting a theoretically based stressor-support-coping model are presented and related to targeting psychotherapeutic interventions for this age group.
