| Annotation | The religious and spiritual experiences of HIV-positive gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are severely understudied, especially among those over 50. However literature supports that religious/spiritual experiences are related to both physical and mental health among older adults. In this exploratory analysis the authors assessed the relations that exist among a sample of HIV-positive gay, bisexual and other MSM over 50 in regard to sociodemographic factors and two established measures of religiosity/spirituality. Differences emerged in relation to both race/ethnicity and age for the Ironson-Woods Spirituality/Religiousness (SR) Index, while, for the Existential Well-being subscale, differences emerged in relation to race/ethnicity and perceived socioeconomic status.
