Elderly people, diagnosed late, have a higher risk of developing AIDS. With a CD4 count of less than 200 cells / ml3, they are on average more likely to die in the first year after diagnosis. The purpose of this scope review is to map evidence regarding the associated risk factors of late diagnosis of HIV / AIDS in older people, but specifically, this review aims to address the following questions: What are the associated factors of late diagnosis of HIV / AIDS in elderly people? What are the risk factors for late diagnosis of HIV / AIDS in elderly people? In what context was the late diagnosis of HIV / AIDS in elderly people given? This review will be guided by the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute, which will be based on participant definition strategy, concept and context. Results will be presented by the logical and descriptive summary, presented as a map of data extracted from the articles and aligned with the objective and scope review questions. This scope review is expected to contribute to a comprehensive analysis of the health care practices of elderly people.

Keywords : Acquired-immunodeficiency-syndrome; Elderly; HIV; Late-diagnosis.
