Abstract

Between 2001 and 2004, the percentage of all HIV cases in patients aged ≥50 years increased from 17% to 23%. This concerning increase is expected to continue over the next decade. The increasing prevalence of HIV in these patients is a result of increased longevity in patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) as well as new primary infections in older patients. While older patients may achieve virological suppression at the same rate as younger patients, the immunological benefit of HAART in older patients may be reduced compared with younger patients. In addition, the toxicities associated with HAART may be worse in older HIV patients, particularly those with underlying renal or hepatic insufficiency. All previous studies evaluating the virological and immunological benefits of HAART in older patients have had relatively small sample sizes and none has compared efficacy or rates of toxicity by HAART treatment class. Co-morbidities are more common in older than in younger patients and can impact on the management of HIV in these patients. Providers must be cognisant of drug-drug interactions and potential adverse effects of HAART regimens when selecting an ideal antiretroviral regimen for older HIV patients. Given the increased longevity and rates of malignancies in HIV-infected patients, providers should also be particularly vigilant in maintaining routine health screening in older HIV patients. Controlled trials on HIV epidemiology, pathogenesis, and therapeutic and clinical outcomes are also needed in older patients. As the HIV-infected population ages, there is a growing need to better determine the effectiveness of HAART in older patients, and to investigate factors associated with a more rapid course of HIV infection in patients aged >50 years.
