Over bingo at the senior center and on the street outside the grocery store, she discusses the topic with unabashed chutzpah, offering up hearty laughter and no-nonsense advice.

Then again, she never expected HIV and AIDS would ravage her senior community. Known to her friends and neighbors as the 'condom grandma', Schuler is among a growing number of senior women battling HIV and AIDS." (INTER PRESS SERVICE) This article discusses the reasons why "at the time of life when they would least expect it, older women are suddenly more vulnerable...to contracting a potentially fatal sexually transmitted disease."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
