ABSTRACT
It has nearly been more than three decades; yet, the research on aging seropositive African American men who have sex with men (MSM) is scarce. Exploring issues for an aging population of seropositive MSM is critical given that earlier epidemiological data suggested that by 2015, half of the AIDS cases will be in adults aged 50 years and older. A qualitative approach with the aim to examine perspectives about HIV risk from a group of seropositive African American MSM 50 years of age and older was conducted. Two separate focus groups with a total N = 30 were conducted. Four themes emerged: feeling left out, no place to call home, not a priority, and no one to grow older with.
