Breaking Barriers: Advancing Health Equity for Persons with Disabilities in HIV Care and Treatment
Advancing health equity for persons with disabilities in HIV care requires dismantling physical, communication, policy, and attitudinal barriers that limit access to prevention, testing, and treatment. Despite facing higher risks and compounded stigma, people with disabilities are often excluded from inclusive health strategies. By strengthening accessible infrastructure, provider training, community engagement, and disability-inclusive policies, health systems can ensure equitable, rights-based HIV services and improve outcomes for all.
