title: People with disabilities and the   AIDS pandemic: making the link.
abstract: People with disabilities are at a heightened risk of contracting HIV, yet they are not being reached by prevention and treatment campaigns. In this article, based on a presentation made at a concurrent session at the conference, Shonali Shome and Myroslava Tataryn examine the ways people with disabilities are excluded from HIV/AIDS programs; what is being done to address the gap; and what remains to be done.
