Sexuality

HIV infection need not stand in the way of a fulfilling sex life. It may, however, affect your sexuality in various ways, and it can raise questions. This section contains information about how people with HIV – and their partners – can deal with HIV infection.

  • The section on Protection during sex looks at how you can protect your partners from     becoming infected with HIV and how you can protect yourself from becoming reinfected with other strains of HIV.
  • Under the keyword partnership you will find information about questions that may come up in your relationships. We discuss relationships in which both partners are HIV-positive, and relationships in which one partner is HIV-positive and the other HIV-negative.
  • Problems with sex may have physical or psychological causes. In both cases, it is possible to find a remedy.
