Prevalence of erectile dysfunction and associated factors among newly diagnosed ART naïve men living with HIV: a cross sectional study in Mwanza, Northwestern Tanzania
ED was found in more than half of ART naïve MLWH. The majority had a mild to mild-moderate ED. There was a significant association between ED and WHO clinical stage 4 for HIV infection, low testosterone level, and being non-self-employed. This finding emphasizes the need to routinely screen for early detection and management of ED in care and treatment center (CTC) clinics.
