Introduction[edit | edit source]

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. The majority of PLWHA admitted to acute-care hospitals have at least one impairment, limited activities, and some level of participation restriction, requiring a physical therapist examination.[1]
