Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Nursing

Background:

  • The aging American population is increasing, leading to a greater number of older adults with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
  • Perioperative nurses require specialized knowledge to manage the unique needs of elderly patients with HIV.
  • Growing demographic trends necessitate an update in nursing protocols and education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the increasing need for perioperative nurses to care for older adults with HIV.

  • To underscore the critical role of standard precautions in preventing bloodborne pathogen exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current demographic trends in aging populations and HIV prevalence.
  • Analysis of the specific physiological and immunological changes associated with aging and HIV infection.
  • Examination of standard precautions and their efficacy in perioperative settings.

Main Results:

  • Perioperative nurses will encounter a rising number of older patients with HIV.
  • Knowledge gaps exist regarding the co-occurrence of HIV and aging.
  • Standard precautions are effective in mitigating bloodborne pathogen risks.

Conclusions:

  • Perioperative nurses must be educated on the complexities of HIV in older adults.
  • Adherence to standard precautions is paramount for patient and nurse safety.
  • Proactive nursing strategies are essential for delivering high-quality care to this growing patient population.
