Introduction Traditionally, sexually transmitted infections (STI) have been seen as a concern for young and adult populations that are more sexually active. However, researchers note that in high-income countries, STIs are becoming more prevalent among people over 60 (Lyons et al., 2017). At the current time, a significant proportion of older people in the West already have progressive views on sex and even have experience using mobile dating apps. At the same time, the older generation is also at risk of becoming exposed to infections that could have a devastating impact on their health. This paper explores and analyzes older people’s awareness of the STI danger and safer sexual practices, and provides evidence that the older generation is at increased risk in this regard. It also suggests possible solutions to address the above issues. Factors of Increased STI Risk It should be mentioned that the prevalence of STIs among older persons is a problem that is becoming global. Currently, it is not only acute in Europe and the United States, but also affects countries such as Brazil, Australia and Canada (Lyons et al., 2017; Malaquias et al., 2017; Spring, 2015). There are specific factors that put older individuals at greater risk in this regard. It is primarily due to the fact that the older generation is becoming more sexually active. In a study involving 1,652 respondents over the age of 60, more than 75 percent of men and women reported they had had a sexual experience in the past five years (Lyons et al., 2017). Another study also reveals a demographic characteristic, according to which out of 457 surveyed elders, more than 55 percent of women and only about 7 percent of men had inactive sex life (Malaquias et al., 2017). Thus, the proportion of older people engaged in sexual activity is quite high. Lack of awareness of the characteristics of these infections and the necessary precautions remain significant risk factors. Research generally indicates that elders are aware of the STI danger and the mechanism of infection transmission (Lyons et al., 2017; Malaquias et al., 2017). At the same time, they are demonstrated to have a limited understanding of specific STIs. The most significant concern is the very high percentage of respondents who are unaware of the protection afforded by sexual protection measures (Lyons et al., 2017). Moreover, according to a study, over 85 percent of female elders and 50 percent of male elders reported never using a condom during their sexual activity (Malaquias et al., 2017). It should be noted that this high percentage demonstrates that people who know about the danger of getting infected still choose unsafe sex. Researchers state that older women engaging in sexual intercourse may be “at a greater risk of developing STIs because they lack sufficient awareness about safer sex or are unable to assert themselves in the relationship” (Spring, 2015, p. 6). Thus, not only ignorance but also hesitation can lead to adverse health outcomes. In addition to the high levels of sexual activity and non-use of protection measures by older persons, the characteristics of infection are also an increased risk factor. According to Lyons et al. (2017), STI risk does not “decrease with age,” and “STIs could be present without
