Facilitators’ Manual – Closing the Gap: Training for and with people with disabilities on the interrelationship of disability and HIV

This manual serves as a guide that should be used to support facilitators who provide training on the interrelationship between disability and HIV, targeting people with disabilities. It is written to support facilitators during workshops and is therefore concise, providing only instructions. This facilitator guide structures the course on a very basic level and covers the following areas: issues regarding the definition of “disability”; vulnerability of people with disabilities to HIV; introduction to HIV-related disabilities; National Strategic Frameworks and legal obligations; implications for HIV services; implications for rehabilitation services; disability inclusive health care services; and finally, an action plan for each participant.
