Look at these expressions of like and dislike:
Elle déteste qu'il prenne son temps quand elle est en retard.She hates that he takes his time when she's late.
Nous ne détestons pas que vous nous apportiez le petit-déjeuner au lit.We don't dislike that you bring us breakfast in bed.
Note that aimer que and détester que are followed by Subjonctif, in BOTH affirmative and negative sentences.
ATTENTION:
This is in contrast to expressions of opinion in French (penser que, trouver que, savoir que, croire que) which are only followed by the Subjonctif when used in the negative form but the Indicatif when used in the affirmative form.
"Penser/trouver/savoir/croire/prétendre que" are followed with indicative (L'Indicatif) in affirmative sentences BUT with subjunctive (Le Subjonctif) in negative ones
