Sex, sexuality, safer sex, and HIV.


 Recommendations for health care providers on how to openly and constructively discuss HIV and sexuality with their clients, and suggestions about approaches for self-protection when engaging in sexual activities are provided. The author focuses on the provider/client relationship, stressing the importance of gathering pertinent information about the client's sex life in order to better help create changes in their attitudes and behaviors. Specific areas covered include using the same vernacular regarding sex that the client uses to avoid alienating the client due to language barriers; determining the client's sexual preference; and asking HIV assessment questions to determine risk level. Suggested counseling methods are provided for advising clients to adopt safer sex practices.
