Red Ribbon, Silver Threads: Healthy Aging with HIV/AIDS

Red Ribbon, Silver Threads: Healthy Aging in the Era of HIV/AIDS

Earlier this year, in response to the increasing number of older adults living with HIV and the often unrecognized threat of HIV infection among people over 50, the AIDS Institute held a forum — Red Ribbon, Silver Threads: Healthy Aging in the Era of HIV/AIDS. The forum attracted more than 170 experts in the fields of geriatrics, chronic disease and HIV/AIDS, together with older adults affected by HIV, to make recommendations and help formulate effective models of care for older people with HIV.

A report of the forum proceedings, including recommendations for expanded education initiatives, is available on the DOH Web site at: www.health.ny.gov/diseases/aids/conferences/index.htm
