When you are first diagnosed with HIV, you may lose interest in relationships and sex while you come to terms with your diagnosis and work on improving your health, but many people want to enjoy sex and a relationship again in time.

The best way to enjoy sex is to:

• Take your ARVs correctly every day and make sure that you stay virally suppressed.
• Use a condom correctly and consistently when you have sex.
• Use a dental dam or a cut-open condom during oral sex.
• Use a water or silicone-based lubricant during sex.
• Talk openly with your partner about sex and having safer sex.
