在过去 11 年中，向疾病控制和预防中心报告的 50 岁或以上成年人中艾滋病病例的累计数量增加了五倍，从 1990 年的 16,288 例增加到 2001 年 12 月末的 90,513 例。本文概述了 2001 年的艾滋病病例，显示了 50 岁或以上人群中艾滋病病例总数的增长情况，并对这些病例进行了描述和比较。在年轻人中。它还审查了 50 岁或以上人群对其感染艾滋病毒风险的看法及其预防性健康实践的工作。本文大部分数据来自CDC网站和艾滋病公共使用数据集。尽管艾滋病的发病率在一般人群中似乎趋于平稳，但数据显示，老年人作为一个群体在新发病例中占很大比例。目前，美国估计有超过 60,000 名 50 岁或以上的艾滋病患者；自疫情爆发以来，该年龄段已有超过 50,000 名艾滋病患者死亡。鉴于高度活跃的抗逆转录病毒治疗的新时代，可以预期艾滋病流行将以多方面的方式继续老龄化。
In the past 11 years, the cumulative number of AIDS cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in adults aged 50 years or older quintupled, from 16,288 in 1990 to 90,513 by the end of December 2001. This article provides an overview of AIDS cases through 2001, shows the growing totals of AIDS cases among persons aged 50 years or older, and describes and compares these cases with those among younger people. It also reviews work on perceptions of persons aged 50 years or older on their risk for contracting HIV and their preventive health practices. Most of the data for this article came from the CDC web site and the AIDS public use data set. Although the incidence of AIDS appears to be leveling off in the general population, the data show that older people as a group represent a substantial share of new cases. There are currently more than 60,000 persons estimated to be aged 50 years or older living with AIDS in the United States; more than 50,000 persons with AIDS in this age group have died since the epidemic began. In light of the new era of highly active antiretroviral therapy, it can be expected that the AIDS epidemic will continue to age in multifaceted ways.
