HIV/AIDS Among People over 55 Years Old 

Fact Sheet

HIV is a virus that does not discriminate by age. Nearly one in 10 District residents aged 55 and older have HIV or AIDS. Reaching 55 years old does not make a person immune to the disease.

From 2001-2006, 245 new cases of HIV were reported among District residents aged 55 and older. There was an overall increase of 21% in newly reported HIV cases over that period of time.
