Kenya: Old but not cold: older people also at risk
James Kioko*, 55, a manager at a 4-star hotel in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, dismisses condoms as "dirty, fuelling prostitution and causing marriage break-ups".
"I don't want to know anything about them," he added, echoing the opinion of many Kenyans in the over-50 age bracket, who have not had the benefit of an AIDS information campaign specifically targeting them.
Although 1 in 14 HIV-positive people globally is over the age of 50, this age group has largely been left out of HIV programmes, and older people are generally considered to be at risk mainly in their role as caregivers of HIV-positive children and grandchildren.
