How gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men living with HIV experience sexual dysfunction: a thematic analysis of interviews in Montreal, Canada
Findings highlight the multifaceted experience of SD among GBM with HIV. Participants perceived that biopsychosocial challenges across the lifespan, living with HIV and gay sexual culture contributed to SD. Although SD led to emotional and relational distress, participants indicated strategies to manage it.
