Does age matter with HIV? Dec 19, 2006 Hi, I'm 16 years old, and I was just recently diagnosed with HIV, I was just wondering if its less dangerous to get HIV at a young age, or get it when you're older. Does it matter? Is your body generally stronger and healthier at a young age? Please let me know. Thanks, Hunter. |

 Most people are healthier and stronger when they are young. The age of 16 is certainly a healthy one for most people. But whether you're young or old, HIV infection is a serious threat to your health and needs to be taken seriously. Make sure you get a good doctor and pay carefull attention to your medical care. | ||||||||
