Are you practicing safe sex?  Are you using preventive measures to avoid HIV/Aids or other Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD)?

In the United States it is estimated that almost 20% of all people with HIV/Aids are 50 years of age or older.  Some reasons for this may include:

• Older people tend to be less informed about HIV/Aids than younger people.
• In fact, older generations tend to speak less about sex in general than younger generations.
• Most medical professionals do not usually ask older people about their sex lives or their usage of drugs.
• Although they are increasing, there still are very few programs to educate older people on how to prevent HIV/Aids and how to recognize the symptoms.
• There are more women than men in retirement settings and men have sexual relationships with multiple women. – And few are tested for HIV/Aids.

It is normal to remain sexually active.  It is also essential to keep sexual relations safe.  Find out how you can prevent HIV/Aids and STDs.  –  And practice safe sex!
