HIV infection is increasingly regarded as a chronic disease. As such, there is a high prevalence of disability among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Although only a minority of rehabilitation professionals work with PLWHA, the rehabilitation professional community has the potential to play a greater role in addressing HIV/AIDS disability.
