Young people living with HIV may feel that sex is just not an option, but don’t worry — many young people living with HIV live healthy, fun, happy and sexually fulfilling lives. You can too, if you want to! Things get easier (and sex can get even better) as you become more comfortable with your status.

This guide is here to support your sexual pleasure and health, and to help you develop strong intimate relationships. It explores how your human rights and sexual well-being are related and suggests strategies to help you make decisions about dating, relationships, sex and parenthood. It explores the rights of young people living with HIV to, express and enjoy their sexuality, decide if, when, and how to disclose their HIV status, experience sexual pleasure, take care of their sexual health, practice safer sex, choose if, when, how many, and with whom to have children, access support and services that respect their dignity, autonomy, privacy and well-being.
