Abstract

The sexual health of people who have been living with HIV (PLHIV) and who have been receiving ARV drug treatment for several years is still a virtually unexplored topic in Africa today. A study was conducted in Senegal on people who have been treated with ARVs for ten years. Half of those interviewed believe that their sexuality has deteriorated. HIV infection has become a chronic disease in which sexual dysfunction related to the disease or age is interpreted in the context of popular representations of HIV infection and those on sexuality defined by social norms.
