Abstract

Do associations meet the needs of elder people living with HIV? A qualitative study with PLWHA over 50 and associations shows that they are especially solicited for economic and social help. But they have not developed specific projects for older people who do not know them and seldom resort to them. Suggestions are made for the associations take better account of the elderly.
