Positive Sex

When most people talk about their ‘sex life’ they’re talking about the actual physical act of having sex. But your sex life isn’t just about having sex. It involves how you feel about yourself and your sexuality, how you feel about your body, your desire to have sex and being touched and loved. Having HIV can impact on all these things, especially if you have recently been diagnosed.
