HANZELIKOVA POGRANYIVA, Alica. AIDS and the elderly. Gerokomos [online]. 2006, vol.17, n.2, pp.33-39. ISSN 1134-928X.
Catching or transmiting AIDS is a risk at any stage of peoples life. This disease has specific connotations that can influence different areas of the individual: psychological, economical, social, family life, etc., at any age but even more if the affected is an old person. The lack of information about the disease and its infection can turn out to be a serious menace. The motivation behind this work is to analize the information and education found in bibliographic sources, regarding old people and their relation to AIDS, and propose actions that embrace prevention, promotion and care aspects.
