About AIDS
Fri., May 28, 1999
Overwhelmingly, nine out of 10 participants recognized the impact that sexual problems have on depression, emotional stress, poor self-image , and extramarital affairs and marriage breakups, but three-fourths were concerned that there would be no medical treatment available for their sexual problems.
When we cannot communicate fully with our health care providers, they can't give the full benefit of their expertise. Yet, even in 1999, too many people still will not be forthright with their physicians about potential exposure to HIV because it involves talk about sex. America's confusing sex-negative environment strikes again.
