Older adults are getting STDs (or STIs) more frequently now--to the tune of twice as many infections in those over the age of 45 in the past decade. Fingers are pointed not only on the high divorce rate, but also on the rise of viagra sales. Ignorance is also a big problem in older adults. They don't always know proper safe-sex habits. Does anyone know of any good older adult education programs? Is anyone doing anything to prevent this problem?
