 AB    1. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the elderly accounts for
       10% of all AIDS cases; although blood transfusion is thought to be the
       most likely mode of transmission in the elderly, AIDS acquired through
       sexual contact should not be overlooked. 2. Diagnosing AIDS in the
       elderly is a major problem; perhaps the biggest problem in diagnosing
       AIDS in elders is that many clinicians fail to recognize AIDS as a
       possibility. 3. The nursing implications concerning AIDS in the elderly
       are endless. Practitioners, educators, and researchers can have a major
       impact in combating this problem.
