Let’s form a club of ‘Sexually-Disabled’ women

Pages 54-55 | Published online: 01 May 1995
 

Abstract

After a late night chat during a retreat weekend for women living with HIV, organised by Positive Women, who are part of the HIV Association in the Netherlands, we drew a bitter conclusion: “Let’s form a club of ‘sexually disabled’ women.” This was because, as HIV positive women, we are experiencing many barriers and difficulties in finding a (sexual) partner who accepts us entirely, including the virus.
