| Annotation | This article reports on older women's experiences and advice on condom use, male-female relationships, HIV risk, and prevention education. It reports on findings from five written, open-ended questions with 110 ethnically and economically diverse women aged 40-80 years in the Greater Los Angeles Area. Analysis revealed four themes: (a) gap between condom use advice and condom use behaviour; (b) invisibility with age; (c) negative expectations of men; and (d) desire for education that breaks the silence on sex. The article discusses the meaning of the findings as they relate to current knowledge about HIV prevention education and midlife and older women; it offers recommendations for research and education.
