Summary

This study looked at 99 heterosexual men with HIV who are on effective antiretroviral therapy and have undetectable virus levels, comparing them to healthy men without HIV. Participants filled out questionnaires about their quality of life, depression symptoms, and sexual function. The goal was to uncover ongoing emotional and sexual challenges that may persist even when HIV is well-controlled.
