Disability and HIV & AIDS

Persons with disabilities across Africa have been feeling the impact of HIV & AIDS in their families and communities since the beginning of the pandemic. Many of these individuals and groups have responded to mitigate this impact on a local level, thus becoming valuable actors in their entourage.
However, as the response to HIV becomes more organized, as decisions and resources are concentrated increasingly at the national level, persons with disabilities have found themselves at the fringes of the civil society rights-based movement and excluded from initiatives that aspire to achieve "Access for All." The Africa Campaign is a part of it.
