Evidence Informing the Intersection of HIV, Aging and Health: A Scoping Review
Lori A. Chambers,Michael G. Wilson,Sergio Rueda,David Gogolishvili,Maggie Qiyun Shi,Sean B. Rourke,Sean B. Rourke +6 more
TL;DR: Future research takes a broader view of health, looks at aging from a strength-based perspective and examines the issue using diverse perspectives, to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the health consequences of HIV in older individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
STI epidemiology in the global older population: emerging challenges.
TL;DR: Evidence from North America, Australia, China and Korea clearly shows increasing rates of many STIs in the population group aged 50 years and older, and a significant lack of detailed epidemiological data from Asia-Pacific and many African countries suggests sexual ageism is the dynamic that underpins this lack of focus and resources for older people.

Lei Zhang,Eric P F Chow,Xun Zhuang,Xun Zhuang,Yanxian Liang,Yafei Wang,Caiyun Tang,Li Ling,Joseph D. Tucker,David Wilson +9 more
TL;DR: MMT is effective in drug users in China but participant retention is poor, substantially related to compulsory detention, and reforming the compulsory drug user detention system may improve MMT retention and effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexually transmitted infections in older populations.
TL;DR: Routine STI screening is not warranted in all older people and age-appropriate interventions designed to impart knowledge and provide the requisite skills needed to reduce STI risk in older age would be beneficial.

Victor Minichiello,Saifur Rahman +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the evidence concerning the epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with a particular focus on older people is presented in this article, where the authors find that sexual ageism is the dynamic that underpins the lack of focus and resources for older people.

TL;DR: A national campaign for detection and treatment of syphilis, and a credible prevention strategy, are urgently needed, and the results suggest that a range of unique biological and social forces are driving the spread ofSyphilis in China.

TL;DR: High prevalence of syphilis and overlapped unprotected commercial sex and drug using behaviors among FSWs along a drug-trafficking route may suggest a potential for rapid spread of HIV from injection drug users to F SWs and then to the general population and underscore the urgency of preventive interventions to break the bridge of FSWS for HIV/sexually transmitted disease spread.

TL;DR: Prevalence by age is calculated, using UNAIDS’ estimated numbers of cases of HIV and United Nations population estimates, by country, and one finds a consistent pattern that prevalence in older individuals is one-quarter to one-third that of the 15–49-year age group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Egocentric networks of Chinese men who have sex with men: network components, condom use norms, and safer sex.
TL;DR: Social network components may activate or strengthen condom use norms within networks, which, in turn, determine consistent condom use among MSM, and HIV behavioral interventions need to target the promotion of safer sex practices through enhancing peer norms of condom use within networks.
