The study investigated perceptions of the availability and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS awareness and intervention programmes by people with disabilities in Uganda. Participants (N=95) were made up of 15 leaders of disabled people's organisations (DPOs) and 80 people with disabilities (PWDs). A survey design which used both quantitative and qualitative research methods was adopted. A questionnaire was used for leaders of DPOs while focus group discussions (FGDs) were held with the rest of the participants. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the quantitative data. The qualitative data were analysed by means of a content analysis. The study found that although PWDs were aware of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, they felt discriminated against on HIV/AIDS issues. The PWDs had difficulties in accessing HIV/AIDS services because of mainly communication problems. Results further revealed that the HIV/AIDS policy on disability was not very clear. The PWDs requested for full involvement in HIV/AIDS advocacy and training programmes. Recommendations were made.
本研究调查了乌干达残疾人对艾滋病意识和干预计划的可及性和有效性的看法。参与者（N=95）由 15 名残疾人组织（DPO）的领导人以及 80 名残疾人（PWD）组成。研究采用了定量和定性研究方法的调查设计。针对 DPO 领导人使用了问卷调查，而其余参与者则进行了焦点小组讨论（FGD）。描述性统计用于分析定量数据。通过内容分析对定性数据进行了分析。研究发现，尽管 PWD 了解艾滋病毒/艾滋病大流行，但他们感到在艾滋病毒/艾滋病问题上受到歧视。PWD 由于主要的沟通问题，难以获得艾滋病毒/艾滋病服务。研究结果进一步表明，关于残疾的艾滋病毒/艾滋病政策不是很明确。PWD 要求充分参与艾滋病毒/艾滋病宣传和培训方案。提出了一些建议。
