HIV/AIDS

HIV is a lifelong condition and currently there is no cure. HIV is a virus that damages the immune system. Untreated HIV can develop into a serious condition called AIDS, where the immune system becomes too weak to fight off other diseases and infections. The virus is transmitted in bodily fluids that include blood, semen, vaginal and rectal fluids and breast milk. AIDS cases are increasing among seniors over age 50 as they are unlikely to use condoms and have weaker immune systems.

Mental Health

Mental illness is still underestimated by many. The disability and mortality that results from mental illness are not paid much attention like other health problems. Depression is a common mental disorder and it is said that more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from this condition. Depression is also the most common late-in-life mental health condition, which if left untreated, can lead to suicide. It causes people to experience low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, and poor concentration.
