* Doctors failing to screen for HIV in older patients

* HIV progresses faster to AIDS in those aged 50-plus

* Older people more likely to risk unprotected sex

* One reason for the increase in frequency is the use of impotence treatments that have allowed both men and women to have more sexual partners.

* Patients over the age of 50 make up roughly 8 percent of new HIV diagnoses in Europe and 11 percent in the United States, where rising numbers of older people are infected with the virus that spreads through sex, transfusions, and needle-sharing.

Well if the youth aren't going to get up in arms maybe we can panic the senior citizens.

Ah, yes. The “make love, not war” generation. What a great mantra. I suppose, however, up to the point where you're a disease infected, rotting hunk of meat, it is more enjoyable.

“The Vil-la-ges” comes to mind.

Another attempt at de-gaying HIV. What they fail to mention is how many of these older patients were gay.
