Relationships Matter

Our guide to relationships for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and adult juvenile idiopathic arthritis (AJIA). A diagnosis of RA or JIA effects every aspect of a person’s life and the lives of those closest to them, including any current or future partner(s). In this booklet, we discuss a range of topics, including the impact of these conditions on dating, sex and maintaining healthy long-term relationships. The booklet is inclusive of all sexualities and includes information and tips, as well as anecdotes from people living with these conditions.
