abstract: 'Introduction
While the rapid expansion in antiretroviral therapy access in low and
middle income countries has resulted in dramatic declines in mortality
rates, many people living with HIV face new or worsening experiences of
disability. As nearly 1 in 20 adults are living with HIV in sub-Saharan
Africa-many of whom are likely to develop disabling sequelae from
long-term infection, co-morbidities and side effects of their
treatment-understanding the availability and accessibility of services
to address HIV-related disabilities is of vital importance. The aim of
this study thus is to explore knowledge of HIV-related disabilities
amongst stakeholders working in the fields of HIV and disability and
factors impacting uptake and provision of interventions for preventing,
treating or managing HIV-related disabilities.
Methods
In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten
stakeholders based in Harare, Zimbabwe, who were working in the fields
of either disability or HIV. Stakeholders were identified through a
priori stakeholder analysis. Thematic Analysis, complemented by constant
comparison as described in Grounded Theory, was used to analyse
findings.
Results
All key informants reported some level of knowledge of HIV-related
disability, mostly from observations made in their line of work.
However, they reported no interventions or policies were in place
specifically to address HIV-related disability. While referrals between
HIV and rehabilitation providers were not uncommon, no formal mechanisms
had been established for collaborating on prevention, identification and
management. Additional barriers to accessing and providing services to
address HIV-related disabilities included: the availability of
resources, including trained professionals, supplies and equipment in
both the HIV and rehabilitation sectors; lack of disability-inclusive
adaptations, particularly in HIV services; heavy centralization of
available services in urban areas, without accessible, affordable
transportation links; and attitudes and understanding among service
providers and people living with HIV-related disabilities.
Conclusions
As people living with HIV are surviving longer, HIV-related disabilities
will become a major source of disability globally, particularly in
sub-Saharan Africa where infection is endemic. Preventing, treating and
managing HIV-related disabilities must become a key component of both
HIV response efforts and rehabilitation strategies.'
