Aging of HIV Epidemic in India

18 Jun 2021
HIV/AIDS

by P. Kumar, D Sahu, N Chandra, A Kumar, S Rajan 15 MIN READ

People living with HIV are gradually getting older as a result of better survival with increased uptake of antiretroviral treatment in India. This analysis projects that the mean age of HIV-infected people will increase from 38.4 years in 2005 to 45.5 years in 2025 with the proportion of HIV-infected people aged 50 years or older increasing from to 37% in 2025. This aging HIV epidemic is anticipated to lead to more non-AIDS morbidities, increased treatment complexity, and an inevitable need for multidisciplinary healthcare services to ensure continued high-quality survival. The insights in this article could prove useful for insights for implements in designing comprehensive healthcare services packages needed for a growing geriatric PLHIV population in near future.
