No data were found to show that men or women lose interest in sexual activity as they age.Older adults also need to fulfill the human need for intimacy and love, and to touch and be touched.Touch is an overt expression of closeness and an integral part of sexuality …, the number of cases of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and AIDS in older adults continues to increase because greater numbers of older adults are becoming newly infected with the HIV virus and an increasing proportion of those who have been living with the virus are reaching their older years.Older adults are just as susceptible to sexually transmitted disease (STD) as younger adults.Yet one survey showed that only 5.1% of men over 61 had used a condom in recent sex.There seems to be a lack of awareness in the older adult population about risks of STDs in their sexual relationships.The desire for sexual intimacy remains a primary force throughout life.Older adults need teaching related to safe sexual practices, STD transmission, etc.HIV infection in older adults is increasing yet only 5% of men over 61 are using condoms thus choice C is correct.All of the other choices are contradicted by the evidence.
