A)Older adults are living longer, healthier lives and are engaging in sex more than in previous generations. Along with this increase in sexual activity comes an increase in STIs. Normal age-related changes to the body can put older adults at greater risk of infection. In addition, because pregnancy is no longer a concern, older adults may not use condoms or may use them inconsistently. Many older adults are hesitant to discuss sexual practices with their healthcare providers. Thus, providers play a key role in STI prevention by acknowledging that continuation of sexual activity is a normal part of aging, encouraging clients to talk about their sexual practice, dispelling myths about the risk of infection, and providing information that is relevant to older clients.
