Abstract This systematic review focuses on empirical work on disability and HIV AIDS in Africa in the past decade and considers all the literature currently accessible. The review presents data from different surveys and summarizes the findings. In this way it convincingly reveals that people with disabilities are very vulnerable to contracting HIV and lack access to information testing and treatment. The review further reveals gaps in the research and areas of concern. While vulnerability and accessibility have been investigated there are few prevalence studies or evaluations available. A certain amount of work has focused on the deaf population but little has been done for other disability groups. A growing area of concern is sexual abuse and exploitation of people with disabilities. Only a few studies or interventions focus on this crucial area. Background The year 2008 was a special one. It was during this year that the XVII International AIDS Conference AIDS 2008 in Mexico City as well as the 15 th International Conference on AIDS and STIs inAfrica ICASA 2008 in Dakar Senegal focused on disability as an issue in HIV .
