Abstract
The International Index of Erectile Function (five-item version) was used to assess the prevalence and risk factors of erectile dysfunction (ED) in an HIV-positive urban population of men. The prevalence of ED was found to be 74%. Age, CD4 count, history of opportunistic infections, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) use, and serum testosterone level were not significantly associated with ED in this study. These results emphasize the high prevalence of ED in HIV-positive men.Keywords
