Abstract: | This paper reviews progress and competence in HIV prevention work for
people with intellectual disabilities in Britain. It identifies key
challenges for specialist residential support and sex education services
for people with intellectual disabilities, as well as for mainstream health
promotion services. The discussion is informed by research and practice
evidence and explores ways to develop competence in safer sex education,
offering suggestions for HIV risk assessment and risk management. While the
paper demonstrates that the politics of sexuality and HIV are difficult for
services to manage, the rights of people with intellectual disabilities to
information and support for sexuality and sexual health should be put
first. |
