Abstract

This book is about being disabled and being poor and the social, cultural and political processes that link these two aspects of living in what has been characterised as a “vicious circle” (Yeo & Moore 2003). It is also about the strengths that people show when living with disability and being poor. How they try to overcome their problems and making the best out of what little they have. This book will appeal to academics, postgraduates and policymakers in disability studies, development studies, poverty and social exclusion.

23. HIV/AIDS and Persons with Disabilities.

Author

Rohleder, Poul, Swartz, Leslie, Eide, Arne Henning, and MacGregor, Hayley

Abstract

Despite the severity of the HIV epidemic worldwide, and particularly in southern Africa, persons with disabilities have until recently been generally excluded from consideration in HIV prevention campaigns. This chapter outlines the situation with regard to HIV/AIDS as it affects persons with disabilities. The chapter will begin by first providing an outline of the experience and prevalence of disability in South Africa, highlighting how little is known about how HIV affects persons with disabilities in South Africa. An outline of some of the international literature, including a recent global survey on HIV/AIDS and disability, will be presented. With the background of findings from international studies, we shall then look at the issue of HIV/AIDS as it affects persons with disabilities in South Africa, with reference to recent research in this area. The chapter will also discuss and highlight some of the current contested issues involved with regard to HIV/AIDS as a disability and the disability grant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Author

Eide, Arne H. and Ingstad, Benedicte

Subjects
Social Science / People With Disabilities
Abstract

This book is about being disabled and being poor and the social, cultural and political processes that link these two aspects of living. Environmental barriers, limited access to services and discriminatory attitudes and practice are among key elements that drive disabled people into poverty and keep them there. 'Disability and poverty' explores the lived realities of people with disabilities from across the developing world and examines how the coping strategies of individuals and families emerge in different contexts.
