AB  - Using NYC HIV surveillance data, we estimated the annual median age of persons 
      living with diagnosed HIV (PLWDH) and the proportion of PLWDH over 50 years old 
      in NYC between 2008 and 2015, and described the characteristics, retention in 
      care and viral suppression status among PLWDH in NYC in 2015, by age (<50 vs. >/=50 
      years old). The median age of PLWDH in NYC increased from 46.4 years 
      (interquartile range [IQR]: 39.4, 53.2) in 2008 to 50.2 years (IQR: 39.8, 57.5) 
      in 2015, and the proportion of PLWDH over 50 years old increased from 35.9% in 
      2008 to 50.6% in 2015. In 2015, by race/ethnicity, whites had the highest 
      proportion over 50 years old (57.0%) and Asian/Pacific Islanders had the lowest 
      (36.2%); by transmission risk, men who have sex with men were the lowest (40.0%) 
      and injection drug users were the highest (76.1%). A large and increasing 
      proportion of PLWDH over 50 years old presents challenges for HIV-infected 
      individuals and healthcare system. Better social support services for 
      HIV-infected individuals and additional training for medical and public health 
      staff are needed.
