About 24% of the 1.2 million people living with HIV in the United States, an estimated 24 percent are age 55 or over. Many people who have been diagnosed after the age of 50 are also a target of the campaign. According to the AIDS Institute, increased support for an aging population is required. Finally, the day also aims to raise awareness of the increasing number of grandparents who are losing their children to HIV/AIDS.
The campaign promotes education, support services, and more. Clinics, support groups, and others are among those who participate in this movement to learn more about prevention, testing, and bringing greater awareness to this national health problem.
Although medical techniques have advanced over the decades, prevention and testing are still necessary. The observance reminds us that age doesn't reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS.
