Growing old with AIDS: Targeting older people for a change [Social Aspects of HIV/AIDS]      Brief Description: Despite the important consequences that HIV/AIDS is likely to have for older people in South Africa, very little empirical work has focused directly on this issue. The overall aim of this study is to provide insights into the perspectives and behaviours of older men and women, both infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.  The impact of HIV/AIDS is likely to be substantial and unique and is likely to be compounded by gender.       Funder: SANPAD                 Participants: Professor Pranitha Maharaj Back	Search Projects  Research Themes Banking and Finance    Monetary Policy and Inflation Credibility Cities, Space and Development    Chance2Sustain Demography and Population Dynamics    Aging and Health in Africa Empowerment in an unequal world?
