<p>In 2015, there were more people over the age of 50 living with HIV than ever before
(5.8 million). This is because we are treating more people and preventing deaths.
Older people living with HIV, however, have up to five times the risk of chronic disease
and countries face increasing long-term health-care costs.</p><p>DFID’s support to
countries in sub-Saharan Africa to strengthen their health systems, including integrating
HIV services, seeks to address this and ensure the needs of older people living with
HIV are met through age-appropriate services.</p>
