Abstract
The aim of this internet-based survey was to investigate the prevalence and associated predictors of sexual dysfunctions in Belgian self-reported HIV-positive men who have sex with other men. Of the 72 participants, 56% had a mild to severe erectile dysfunction (ED) and 15% reported a hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). The prevalences of premature ejaculation (PE) and anodyspareunia (AD) were both 18%. Independent predictors for ED were: frequency of masturbation, frequency of sex with partner, use of erectile enhancement drugs, having a passive sex role and not having a steady relationship. Independent predictors for HSDD were: frequency of masturbation and having a lower lifetime number of sexual partners. Independent predictors for PE were: not having a steady relationship, having a lower lifetime number of sexual partners and a lower level of education. The only independent predictor for AD was having an active sex role.
