HIV Care Through a Sex-Positive Lens: A Positive Nurse Perspective

This talk will explore why clinicians and women living with HIV should be talking about sex, the approach to sex-positive language, and how it impacts women’s overall health and wellbeing and the relationship between women and their providers.
