The number of HIV/AIDS cases for the 50 and older crowd appears to be on the rise. Not only are baby boomers reportedly engaging in more casual sex, but they're also doing it at the risk of contracting more sexual diseases.
Currently, about 19 percent of all people with HIV/AIDS in the United States are age 50 and older according to a report from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
In an analysis of National Health Interview data, a researcher found that almost half of women over age 50 were totally uninformed about HIV, compared with only 14 percent of younger adults.
SHAME and EMBARRASSMENT has led to silence and that has contributed to an upsurge of HIV cases among individuals 50 and older over the course of the epidemic.
