Summary
HIV/AIDS is not just a young person's disease. Fifteen percent of new HIV/AIDS cases are among Americans over age 50. Many older people with HIV do not know they are infected because they have never been tested. They are not accessing the treatment they need and may be unknowingly spreading HIV to others. This fact sheet discusses HIV/AIDS among older Americans and why all sexually active Americans, including those over age 50, should be tested for HIV as part of their routine health care.
