This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of HIV infection among people with disabilities (PWDs) in Burkina Faso. We carried out a cross-sectional study on level 3 and/or 4 disabled people. Identification of PWDs aged 15-69 years was done in households using the Washington Group (WG) Short questionnaire, following by HIV behavioural survey and HIV testing. Multi-level binary logistics Bayesian analysis was done to identify factor associated with HIV. In total, 973 PWDs were included in this study. HIV prevalence was 4.6% (3.3-6.1%). Independent factors associated with HIV infection were aged 35-44 years old (AOR: 8.93; 95% CrI: 3.57-18.89), had visual or hearing impairments (AOR: 6.38; 95%CrI: 1.95-15.44), no income (AOR:6.11; 95% CrI: 2.49-12.48), and had casual sex partners (AOR: 6.28; 95% CrI: 3.27-11.13). HIV prevalence is high compared to the general population. These data suggest a need for comprehensive and specific HIV prevention among people with disabilities, including awareness for safer sexual behaviours.
本研究旨在确定布基纳法索残疾人（PWDs）中 HIV 感染的流行率和危险因素。我们对三级和/或四级残疾人进行了横断面研究。使用华盛顿小组（WG）简短问卷在家庭中识别出 15-69 岁的 PWDs，然后进行 HIV 行为调查和 HIV 检测。采用多水平二元逻辑贝叶斯分析来确定与 HIV 相关的因素。本研究共纳入 973 名 PWDs。HIV 感染率为 4.6%（3.3-6.1%）。与 HIV 感染相关的独立因素为 35-44 岁（OR：8.93；95%CrI：3.57-18.89）、视觉或听力障碍（OR：6.38；95%CrI：1.95-15.44）、无收入（OR：6.11；95%CrI：2.49-12.48）和偶然的性伴侣（OR：6.28；95%CrI：3.27-11.13）。与一般人群相比，HIV 感染率较高。这些数据表明，需要针对残疾人进行全面和具体的 HIV 预防，包括提高对更安全性行为的认识。
