Résumé

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been increasing in older adults. Sexual health remains an important part of overall health care at any age. There are several barriers and facilitators to addressing sexual health in this population. Changes attributable to normal physiologic aging as well as sexual dysfunction can affect sexuality in older adults. When it comes to preventing STIs, combination prevention strategies remain applicable in older adults. Addressing sexual health using a tailored approach is critical to stem the tide of increasing STIs rates in older adults.
