Brokenness to Wholeness the Silver Edition: HIV and AIDS Curriculum for Older Adults
In 2008 in the United States alone, persons aged 50 and over accounted for:
• 16.5% of new HIV diagnoses;
• 31% of persons living with HIV/AIDS (increased from 17% in 2001); and
• 45% of all deaths of persons with AIDS.
