AnnotationThe need for targeting adults aged 50 years and older for HIV/AIDS prevention education is discussed in this article. The authors consider a variety of educational strategies that can address both primary prevention (risk reduction) and secondary prevention (prompt identification and treatment) with regard to older adults. Examples of existing prevention education programmes designed for older people in the US are presented together with a discussion of what has been learned about effective educational strategies and interventions among other targeted groups. Finally, suggestions are made for future research needed to help design and implement effective HIV/AIDS education programmes for older adults. (AKM).
