Welcome Tiffany, you’re the right person who has come at the right time. I am currently working on a blog which questions the future needs of 50+ HIV ers. Are we ready to meet the needs of seniors with HIV who will make up 50% of the HIV population by the year 2015?
More to come on this topic. peace, Gisele
Thank you for the warm welcome Gisele. I look forward to reading your work. My preliminary answer to your questions is to be honest I am not sure we are ready just yet to meet future needs of 50+ HIV ers. But I am confident there are folk working on this issue and I will be excited to see what challenges and nudging you do to make it happen.
