Asexuality;
Actually an assumption I made. In Guyana, diagnosed SMI would be taken ca=

Marital
Status: It is generally assumed that married people are monogamous an=

such at lower risk. This is quite an unfair assumption to make since the
couple might be estranged/ just plain trifling

Southeast
Asian Sex Taboo: Some case managers made the assumption hat people of=
SE
Asian descent do not engage in any sexual behavior
Elderly:
CMs have reported that they don’t discuss sex with the elderly
because it is assumed that older people regardless of their mental health
status don’t have sex
Female:
CMs also believe that female are less likely to engage in risky sex
despite the evidence that SMI females are more likely be victims of sexual
coercion and ultimately RAPE
