    Abstract

    Gay men who have been diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are living longer, healthier lives. As a result, many experience continued sexual interest. This article, based on the author's four years as a support group facilitator for men with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), explores the sexual needs and expression of gay men with HIV infection. Several potential positive functions of a sustained sex life for these men and the factors that inhibit sexual expression are explored. Issues influencing social work practice related to the sexual needs of this growing population are discussed; suggestions for effective and humane services are presented.
