ABSTRACT
Three decades into the HIV pandemic, the issues affecting people with disabilities remain less known. Increasing attention has been given to this overlooked population when it comes to HIV prevention, treatment and care. This is related to the significant unmet sexual and reproductive healthcare needs facing people with disabilities worldwide. This article discusses the barriers to sexual health for people with disabilities in Africa and presents an argument about how mainstream HIV prevention work and research do not adequately attend to the sorts of systemic barriers that exclude people with disabilities, which a more targeted and critical approach could.
