چکیده

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.
