Sexual responses to living with HIV/Aids in Lomé, Togo

A qualitative study of sexual behaviour among 88 people living with HIV was conducted in Lomé, Togo. Data were collected by means of open-ended interviews. Three separate sexual-behaviour patterns were identified: people who reported not having sex at all; people who reported using condoms consistently; and people who reported not using condoms at all or using them inconsistently. Reasons given to explain these behaviours were analysed. Findings reveal the need for different programmes and policy approaches to dealing with problems of HIV and AIDS in Lomé, Togo
