N2 - As part of a natural history study of HIV disease in injected drug users, 38 HIV positive (HIV+) asymptomatic or low-symptomatic women and 37 HIV negative (HIV‒) women, mostly of minority inner-city background, underwent a comprehensive survey of sexual functioning. At study baseline, the sample as a whole showed a relatively high prevalence of problems in all major phases of the sexual response cycle and in vaginismus and vaginal pain. Statistically significant group differences indicate higher rates of problems in sexual functioning in HIV+ women even at an early stage of disease progression.
