Answer

Answer: Simon Collins

Thank you for your questions.

A healthy sex life can be part of a fulfilling life. There is nothing bad about having protected sex. It is safe and has no negative impact on an HIV positive person’s life.

Many people living with HIV who are living well and living fulfilling lives, find that their sex drive improves after starting treatment.
