HIV Clinical Trial
— HandiVIHOfficial title:
Disability and HIV: an Appraisal of the Vulnerability of People With Disabilities to HIV Infection in Two Main Cities of Sub-Saharan Africa
According to the recent World Report on Disability, around 15% of the world population lives
with a disability and 80% of people with disabilities (PWD) live in developing countries.
More and more evidence show that PWD are more likely to be poor, vulnerable to physical and
sexual violence, and to have less access to education. Therefore, PWD are likely to have an
increased risk for HIV infection, potentially being a key population in regard to this
epidemic.
The vulnerability of PWD was recognized in 2007 by the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities. However, data on the extent how PWD are affected by HIV
is still very limited. As a result, PWD are usually overlooked by National AIDS Control
Programmes and few projects specifically targeting them have been developed.
Recognizing the need for appropriate and reliable data to help protect the rights of PWD and
achieve a better inclusion of disability in National AIDS Control Programmes, the Institute
of Research for Development (IRD), the Institut de Formation et Recherche Demographique
(IFORD) and Handicap International (HI) propose this study that aims to provide quantitative
and qualitative data on the vulnerability of PWD to HIV infection in Cameroon and Burkina
Faso, in order to define if this vulnerable population is also a Key Population in relation
to the HIV epidemic. This study adopts a multidisciplinary approach (quantitative and
qualitative methods). Quantitative data are collected only in Cameroon.
Only the quantitative study is described here.
