Due to highly effective anti-retroviral therapy the mortality rate from AIDS has been significantly reduced and HIV infection has became a chronic rather than a terminal disease. In Israel there are more than 5,631 people known to be HIV positive. The increased life expectancy of HIV-infected persons leads to an increase in HIV prevalence among older adults. Both HIV infection and anti-retroviral therapy exacerbate diseases that occur in older people, including cardiovascular, neurologicaL and renal diseases, as well as diabetes and osteoporosis. Caring for HIV-infected patients with other chronic diseases is challenging and requires a muLtidisciplinary approach. .
由于高效抗逆转录病毒疗法，艾滋病的死亡率已显著降低，并且艾滋病毒感染已成为一种慢性疾病而非绝症。在以色列，已知有超过5631人呈艾滋病毒阳性。艾滋病毒感染者预期寿命的增加导致老年人中艾滋病毒感染率上升。艾滋病毒感染和抗逆转录病毒疗法都会加重老年人所患的疾病，包括心血管疾病、神经疾病和肾脏疾病，以及糖尿病和骨质疏松症。护理患有其他慢性疾病的艾滋病毒感染患者具有挑战性，需要采取多学科方法。
