在本文中，我们提出了一个定性研究的结果，旨在概念化的服务需求老年男同性恋艾滋病毒感染者（GMLH）。我们的分析是基于对16名50岁及以上的艾滋病毒感染者的采访数据。利用交叉性框架，理论上解释了受多种压迫制度影响的群体中边缘化的相互关联的表达，我们强调了这一人群的实际，社会和心理健康需求，以及可以设计或调整以解决这些问题的服务。我们还强调为老年人GMLH服务的护理专业人员提供专门培训的相关性，并阐明需要采取措施，更充分地让患有艾滋病毒的男同性恋者参与开发和提供供其使用的服务。
In this paper, we present the findings of a qualitative study aimed at conceptualizing the service needs of aging gay men living with HIV (GMLH). Our analysis is based on interview data from 16 gay-identified men living with HIV, ages 50 and over. Drawing on a framework of intersectionality, which theoretically accounts for interlocking expressions of marginalization in groups affected by multiple systems of oppression, we highlight the practical, social, and mental health needs of this population, as well as services that could be designed or adapted to address these concerns. We also emphasize the relevance of specialized training for caring professionals serving older GMLH, and articulate the need for initiatives that more fully engage gay men aging with HIV in the development and delivery of services intended for their use.
