OBJECTIVES
This study compared characteristics of older (> or = 50 years) and younger (< 50 years) women with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) attributed to heterosexual contact.
METHODS
We interviewed women with heterosexually acquired AIDS reported to 12 state and local health departments. Of 556 women interviewed, 59 (11%) were 50 or older.
RESULTS
Older women were more likely than younger women to live alone (24% vs 11%), to have not completed high school (63% vs 37%), to be tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) while hospitalized (51% vs 32%), and to have never used a condom before HIV diagnosis (86% vs 67%).
CONCLUSIONS
Health care providers need to recognize HIV risk behavior in older women, encourage testing, and promote condom use.
目的
本研究比较了因异性接触感染获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）的老年（≥50岁）和年轻（<50岁）女性的特征。
方法
我们采访了向12个州和地方卫生部门报告的因异性接触感染艾滋病的女性。在接受采访的556名女性中，59名（11%）年龄在50岁及以上。
结果
老年女性比年轻女性更有可能独自生活（24%对11%）、未完成高中学业（63%对37%）、住院期间接受过人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）检测（51%对32%），以及在HIV诊断前从未使用过避孕套（86%对67%）。
结论
医疗保健提供者需要认识到老年女性中的HIV风险行为，鼓励检测，并促进避孕套的使用。
