Abstract

This paper addresses intimacy in relationships where HIV/AIDS exists. The authors explore what strengthens and strains relationships and review insights on promoting communication about intimacy. Therapist discomfort and attitudes that prevent effective therapeutic intervention are addressed to allow for the co-existence of HIV/AIDS and intimacy.
