Knodel, John E., and Mark VanLandingham. 2000. "Children and Older Persons: AIDS Unseen Victims." American Journal of Public Health, 90(7): 1024-1025.
It is important to consider that not only do HIV-infected persons have children, many also have parents in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s and older, who likewise are affected in significant ways by their adult children's illness. The consequences of the epidemic for older persons in general have been largely overlooked.
