It begins!



Greetings!  Welcome to my first ever blog - I hope that I do it justice!  If you are reading this, you obviously share my passion for HIV research and education particularly amongst older adults.  My goal at this stage is to provide you with a portal to sites and general information about HIV and the epidemic as it effects older adults.

For this first post I just wanted to start things out by giving you a few links to some national organizations that will give you a brief introduction to the current issues at hand for this population.
