Description
The sexuality of men and women with HIV is diminished by the fear of infecting others and being infected, as well as guilt, anger and ill health resulting in negative physical and psychological effects on sexual desire.' (1) Sadeghi-Nejad et al. (2) state that surveys show that among persons with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, the prevalence of sexual problems is as high as 35% for men and 55% for women. Comparison of sexual problems among HIV-positive and HIV-negative men and women revealed that men and women with HIV reported greater sexual problems than those without. (3,4) Collazos5 found that sexual dysfunction seems to be very common after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the average prevalence being 51% in different studies. Studies of HIV patients found depression or use of antidepressants, (3,4,6,7) CD4 count 200 cells/[micro]l, (3,8) not being in a relationship, (3) sexual risk-taking, (4,8) older age, (7) recreational drug use, (6) antiretroviral therapy (ART) (particularly protease inhibitors) (5,7) and non-adherence to ART (9,10) to be associated with sexual problems. There is a lack of understanding of sexual problems among patients on ART in Africa. The aim of this study was therefore to assess sexual dissatisfaction and associated factors in a sample of patients on ART in South Africa. Methods
