Prevention of HIV/AIDS and STDs in Women Over Fifty

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Hiv, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Aging

In brief

In response to the increasing rates of HIV/STD infections among women over the age of 50, especially minority women, and in the attempt to reduce HIV/STD risks for over ten million older adult American women who are impacted by gray divorce and at risk for unsafe sex, the investigators will create, test, and commercialize a novel positive psychology-based "SmartWeb" intervention to promote wellbeing, HIV/STD awareness, and safe sex practices among culturally-diverse older divorced or separated women who are dating. This large end-user market for the proposed HIV/STD risk reduction intervention will greatly facilitate commercialization through advertisements, marketing research based on data mining, and in collaboration with manufacturers of condoms, and other large companies offering health products and services to older women.
