With the fear of pregnancy passed and not growing up with rampant sexually transmitted desiase, safe sex is not being practiced as often as it should be among the active seniors. While young adults fear pregnancy and getting HIV which could turn into AIDS down the road, the retirees know other health issues associated with advance will end their life before AIDS. Some of the symptoms like dementia and wasting syndrom are the same for HIV as well as other illnesses relating to advanced aging.

Places with young inexperienced workers should not only train managers to behave appropriately, there should be a class for the teens (both sexes) to what is and is not acceptable behavior.
