This piece states September 18th is National HIV/AIDS And Aging Awareness Day. Earlier, it was estimated that at least half of all HIV cases in the US were in people 50+. The newer stat has it at 37% of HIV cases are in people 55+.
This is a good article. It discusses the numbers among this population. Reasons why they do & don't seek treatment. It goes into some differences for Blacks & Women. The 50+ age group is the fastest growing group of people with HIV.
Give this a read. Take care.
Cya...
