Audio Clips addressing HIV/AIDS prevention for people with disability in Central America

People with physical, sensory or mental disabilities, approximately 4 million in the Central America Region, continue to be very vulnerable to HIV/AIDS incidence due to social exclusion that suffer many of them and to the difficulties of articulation among institutions, professionals, and health programs.

One of the key tools for the prevention of HIV/AIDS in people with disability is the development and dissemination of materials that help to strengthen the efforts of prevention. The World Bank within its Central America HIV/AIDS Project and with the collaboration of The Inter-American Institute on Disability (only in Spanish) has produced and validated by people with HIV and people with disability a series of audio clips focusing on the prevention of HIV/AIDS for population with disability.
