Abstract

Introduction Chronic diseases, including HIV, are associated with psychosocial factors known to influence sexual functioning. This study aimed to assess the sexual functioning and well-being of sexually active HIV-positive women. Methods In this HIV program-based cross-sectional study (October 2018 to March 2019), 458 sexually active women in Ogun State, Nigeria, completed the Female Sexual Function Index, the Revised Female Sexual Distress Scale, and the World Health Organization-5 Well-Being Scale to assess different domains of sexual functioning and well-being. Results The mean age was 41.82 (±10.27) years. Forty-four (9.6%) of the women had symptoms of depression while 77.29% had scores suggestive of a high risk of female sexual dysfunction. The prevalence of female sexual dysfunction subtypes was as follows: (1) 92.36% for difficulties in the interest domain, (2) 74.67% for symptoms suggestive of Candace syndrome, (3) 60.04% for difficulties in the orgasmic domain, and (4) 76.69% for dyspareunia. The prevalence of female sexual distress and poor well-being was 6.55% and 6.99% respectively. The correlation between dyadic adjustment scores and the participants’ sexuality (?0.122, 95% CI?0.211 to?0.030) and well-being(?0.420,95% CI?0.492 to?0.341) was statistically significant (p<0 p=0.022), p=0.062).>
