| Abstract: | Sex education for people with intellectual disability has been characterised by neglect. This was evidenced at the time of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, when people with intellectual disability found themselves in a vulnerable position because they possessed no education about protection from this disease. The incentive to counteract this epidemic saw the onset of sex education work among people with intellectual disability, including HIV prevention work in places such as the UK, Australia, Canada and the US.
