Nearly half of people living with HIV in the U.S. are over 50 years old. Half or more smoke cigarettes , putting their lungs at greater risk for a respiratory infection like coronavirus. And many have preexisting health conditions like diabetes and hypertension that dramatically increase the odds of mortality.
