We carried out field research with users of a support group held at the Pedro Ernesto University Hospital, highlighting their long experience with AIDS and their accounts of their post-diagnosis experiences. Age as a demarcator of old age presents contradictions, so our discussion considers people living with HIV/Aids to be elderly from the age of 50, emphasising its meaning for users.
