Bridging the HIV care gap for people with Disabilities. Addressing barriers to meaningful engagement of PWDs in HIV response

[HIV Action for Disability Zimbabwe @hivabilityact]

HIV is the most underestimated condition amongst persons with disabilities with the piercived low risk perception of HIV falsely attributed to them while they are at a very much higher risk of contracting the virus. This notion enhancces the exclusion from HIV services, programs

[UNAIDS Global @UNAIDS]

Punitive laws, #discrimination, and violence put sex workers at risk for #HIV, as they prevent them from accessing the HIV services they need. To protect everyone’s health, we must protect everyone’s rights. #ZeroDiscrimination

Kidney disease is a big issue in Zim. The estimated prevalence of kidney disease is almost similar to HIV, and yet very little if anything is known by the general public about this condition If you have risk factors eg diabetes, hypertension, family history pse get screened ….
