“…Although the studies spanned 25 countries in six of seven continents, most were conducted in North America and Europe, with fairly few (25%) in Africa (1,2,11,21,20,9,22,25), where 70% of all people with HIV live (UNAIDS, 2016). Nearly half (15, 47%) of all studies were mixed-gendered cohorts (2,3,4,6,7,9,11,15,17,20,22,23,25,26,28), highlighting a persistent lack of research focus on women with HIV, unlike the relative plethora of sex studies for men with HIV (Scanavino, 2011) and women with cancer (Abbott-Anderson & Kwekkeboom, 2012;Emilee, Ussher, & Perz, 2010) and other chronic illnesses (Basson, 2010;Giraldi & Kristensen, 2010). Of these studies, just seven disaggregated their data by gender (2,3,7,11,17,23,25).…”

Further, across the mixed-gendered cohorts, women's bodies, desires, and experiences were largely conceptualized as no different from men's.…”

“…Notably, however, the measurement of "dysfunction" has been highly variable. Some investigators relied on clinical diagnosis according to DSM criteria (11,13). Others employed single-item survey questions (4,26,28,29), some of which were exceptionally vague (e.g., "dysfunction in sexual activity"; "sexual difficulties").…”

“…In terms of recent sexual experience (i.e., past month to past year), studies most often indicate about two-thirds to three-fourths of women engage in intercourse (4,5,6,7,8,10,11,13,14,18,19,22,23,27,30,31,32), although estimates range considerably by sociodemographic, economic, and cultural factors, from as low as 14% among 59 Nigerian women aged 50 and over (versus 50% of Nigerian men) (20), to 44-49% with 1795 Canadian women reporting high stigma (16,24), to as high as 93% in 43 Italian women engaged in care (23).…”

“…When asked about reasons for sexual inactivity (whether intentional or not), many women across studies reported difficulties finding the "right" partner, anxieties about disclosing to partners, fears around the possibility of transmitting HIV, and low interest in sex (5,7,11,18,20,32). Other reasons included depression, guilt, religious taboos, pregnancy concerns, a dislike of condoms, and pain during intercourse (5,7,11,18,20,32). All of these factors inform understanding of the numerous internal and external contexts shaping women's sexual activity in the context of HIV.…”

The Problematization of Sexuality among Women Living with HIV and a New Feminist Approach for Understanding and Enhancing Women’s Sexual Lives

In the context of HIV, women's sexual rights and sexual autonomy are important but frequently overlooked and violated. Guided by community voices, feminist theories, and qualitative empirical research, we reviewed two decades of global quantitative research on sexuality among women living with HIV. In the 32 studies we found, conducted in 25 countries and composed mostly of cis-gender heterosexual women, sexuality was narrowly constructed as sexual behaviours involving risk (namely, penetration) and physiological dysfunctions relating to HIV illness, with far less attention given to the fullness of sexual lives in context, including more positive and rewarding experiences such as satisfaction and pleasure. Findings suggest that women experience declines in sexual activity, function, satisfaction, and pleasure following HIV diagnosis, at least for some period. The extent of such declines, however, is varied, with numerous contextual forces shaping women's sexual well-being. Clinical markers of HIV (e.g., viral load, CD4 cell count) poorly predicted sexual outcomes, interrupting widely held assumptions about sexuality for women with HIV. Instead, the effects of HIV-related stigma intersecting with inequities related to trauma, violence, intimate relations, substance use, poverty, aging, and other social and cultural conditions primarily influenced the ways in which women experienced and enacted their sexuality. However, studies framed through a medical lens tended to pathologize outcomes as individual "problems," whereas others driven by a public health agenda remained primarily preoccupied with protecting the public from HIV. In light of these findings, we present a new feminist approach for research, policy, and practice toward understanding and enhancing women's sexual lives-one that affirms sexual diversity; engages deeply with society, politics, and history; and is grounded in women's sexual rights.

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.
