inPractice® - Prevention of HIV Infection in Older Individuals

Many older patients do not consider themselves to be at risk for acquiring HIV infection and are often absent from education campaigns^{[Grabar 2006; Lyles 2007; Pratt 2010]}
Risk counseling is especially important for older individuals who become newly single, as older persons are less likely to use condoms^{[Schick 2010]}
Persons being treated for erectile dysfunction have higher rates of incident HIV infection and are another important risk group^{[Jena 2010]}
