Abstract:
Objective: To identify whether older adults in rural South Africa have unmet needs for HIV prevention.Methods: We analyzed data from a population-based sample of 5059 men and women aged 40 and older from Health and Aging in Africa: Longitudinal Studies of INDEPTH Communities (HAALSI) undertaken in the Agincourt sub-district of Mpumalanga Province, underpinned by the Agincourt health and socio-demographic surveillance system. We estimated the prevalence of HIV (laboratory-confirmed and self-reported) and key sexual behaviors by age and sex. We compared sexual behavior profiles across HIV status categories with and without age-sex-standardization.
