HIV/AIDS prevention and care services and services for the aging: bridging the gap between service systems to assist older people.
The service systems for patients with or at risk for HIV infection/AIDS and for the aging must work together to address the needs of older adults who engage in HIV risk behaviors or who are HIV infected. Health and human service organizations miss opportunities for service integration in prevention, care, and supportive services. The authors illustrate critical issues and offer strategies to address these missed opportunities.
