Racial differences in change in physical functioning in older male veterans with HIV.
Little is known about longitudinal change in physical functioning of older African American/Black and White HIV-infected persons. In this study, the investigators examined up to 10 years of data on African American and White men with HIV infection and comparable HIV-negative men age 50-91 years from the Veterans Aging Cohort Study Survey sample.

People living with HIV in U.S. nursing homes in the fourth decade of the epidemic.
This study described the sociodemographic characteristics as well as the antiretroviral therapy treatment and physical and mental health among Medicare-eligible persons living with HIV (PLWH) in nursing homes (NHs). Of the newer admissions, results showed that they were older, had higher prevalence of viral hepatitis and anemia, but had less pneumonia and dementia. NH nurses can better anticipate health care needs of PLWH using these health profiles, understanding that there have been changes in the health of PLWH at admission over time.
