The aim of the study was to report on HIV and older people in the European Region, including new data stratified by subregion and year.
Data were collected from the 2008 World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe, Communicable Diseases Unit survey on HIV/AIDS and health systems.
It was found that 12.9% of newly reported cases of HIV infection in Western Europe in 2007 were in people aged 50 years or older. In Central Europe, almost one-in-10 newly reported cases of HIV infection were in older people, while the proportion in Eastern Europe was 3.7% in 2007.
The issue of HIV infection among older people is of increasing concern as more people age with HIV infection as a result of the availability of combination antiretroviral therapy.
本研究旨在报告欧洲区域艾滋病毒与老年人问题，包括按次区域和年份分类的新数据。
数据来自 2008 年世界卫生组织欧洲区域办事处传染病股艾滋病毒/艾滋病和卫生系统调查。
2007 年西欧新报告的艾滋病毒感染病例中，12.9%为 50 岁及以上年龄组人群。在中欧，每 10 例新报告的艾滋病毒感染病例中就有近 1 例为老年人，而东欧这一比例为 2007 年的 3.7%。
随着越来越多的人因联合抗逆转录病毒疗法的应用而存活到老年，艾滋病毒感染老年人的问题日益令人关切。
