1. AIDS affects all segments of the population, including the elderly. Elders at risk are recipients of blood products prior to 1985 and their spouses; and persons having unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse outside of a mutually monogamous relationship. 2. Because of stereotyping and lack of awareness, health-care professionals have underserved the needs of the elderly for AIDS care. 3. Elderly persons experience the manifestations of HIV in unique ways, and the consequences of the infection are particularly destructive to their lifestyles and support systems. 4. There is an acute need for nursing intervention in the area of AIDS education targeted to the elderly population. In addition, nurses should be at the forefront of development of a comprehensive home health plan geared specifically for the elderly AIDS client.
