Emlet, an associate professor at the University of Washington at Tacoma and a leading H.I.V. and aging researcher, who sees new collaborations between specialists that will improve care.
The number of people over fifty living with AIDS has skyrocketed in recent years, growing 77 percent between 2001 and 2005.
