My pet project: Do you know that women over-55 are the fastest-growing HIV-positive demographic in the country, and have been for 10 years, according to the CDC?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Lots of lively women, very few men, plus many unable to perform from heart meds, prostate, etc. Plus "no reason" to wear protection, ladies our age don't get pregnant, plus the guys grew up hating tcondoms (you couldn't die from StD's back in the day) and we all have aches, pains, weird illnesses and put it down to aging. Doctors it seems prefer to ignore that elder people might be having sex and there is a prevailing notion that it is a gay/black/slut problem too. Just a cornucopia oframpant igmpnorance leading to infection-spreading.

I am President of a 100-member social club for over-55's.. I make sure all the Members hear this at least once, they are 80% women & some like to be "active". I think the word gets out as they tell their friends, etc.
One of the Huge problems: At this age any initial symptoms could be So easily misdiagnosed, as even many physicians seem to igore this aspect of an older person's life, sadly

Nope, not one....just me so far.....
@AnneWimsey That is such an important issue. I connected with people across the country who volunteer at women's clinics/abortion clinics. Many of them work to educate people about safe sex. Do you have an initial women's clinic or a Planned Parenthood in your area? I may be able to help you find someone willing to help you.
