The elderly and the attendance of associations Older people and the attendance of associations: Taverne B., Desclaux A., Sow P. S., Delaporte E., Ndoye I. Evaluation of the individual and collective bioclinical and social impact of ARV treatment in HIV-1 patients treated for 10 years under ISAARV -Cohorte ANRS 1215. Final report

Abstract

Based on individual and collective interviews with people over the age of 50 and community leaders, this chapter describes the reasons for older people to attend associations supporting people living with HIV, in order to understand whether associations meet their needs, and to explain the low number of elderly people among members. Individual membership of an association depends on the psychological and socio-economic dimensions and the experience of the disease. There was also knowledge of associations (sometimes marked by unfavourable prejudices) and access arrangements (which were not encouraged by the healthcare services): special measures for the elderly remain to be put in place in associations to reach this population.
