Diagnóstico tardio do Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana e da Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida em Idosos

摘要

Elderly people, late diagnosed, have a higher risk of developing AIDS. With a CD4 count of less than 200 cells/ml3, they are on average more likely to die in the first year after diagnosis.  In this sense, the objective of this scoping review is to map evidence related to the associated and risk factors of late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in elderly people, but specifically, this review aims to answer the following questions: What are the associated factors of late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in older people? What are the risk factors for late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in older people? What is the context of late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in older people? This review will be guided by the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute, which will be based on the participants definition strategy, concept and context. The results will be presented by the logical and descriptive summary, presented as a map of data extracted from the articles and aligned with the objective and questions of the scope review. It is expected that this scope review will contribute to the comprehensive analysis of the health care practices of elderly people.
