“…This finding is similar to that of Van As et al, Buchalla et al and Jeslma et al where none of the study participants experienced any problem in the block of washing oneself. 11,14,15 But it contrasts with the findings of Myezwa et al, where 35% of the study participants had reported problem with Washing oneself and also Gaidhane et al where they noted that 30.4%, 28.9% and 29.4% participants in their study had reported mild to moderate problems washing whole body, washing body parts and drying respectively. 7,8 Similarly in caring for body parts none of the participants reported any difficulty in caring for skin, caring for teeth, caring for fingernail and caring for toenail on capacity and performance qualifier.…”

Background: There are limited studies from India on use of ICF in finding out the Disability experienced by PLHIV. We undertook this study to understand the level of disability experienced by the PLHIV attending tertiary healthcare setting. This study mainly focuses on the self-care domain of ICF classification.Methods: Cross sectional, hospital based, conducted with permission from institutional ethics committee. Predesigned standardised ICF questionnaire, with only self care part of it was administered and participants assessed for activity limitation and participation restriction domains of self care.Results: Inactivity limitation block, with regards to washing oneself, caring for body parts and dressing none reported any problem. In regulating menstruation 15 (6.67%) had moderate, 15 (6.67%) had severe and 3 (1.33%) had complete problem while 67 (29.67%) had no problem. In participation restriction, it was observed that participants had difficulties in regulating defecation 47 (20.8%) moderate, 33 (14.66%) severe, 9 (4%) mild whereas 6 (2.67%) complete problem. Overall prevalence was 42.67%. in block of participation restriction, on performance qualifier, overall 149 (66.67%) had problem in eating, 77 (34.22%) had moderate, 36 (16%) severe, 34 (15.1%) had mild and 3 (1.33%) had complete problem. In drinking overall 29.78% participants experienced problems, out of which 31 (13.7%) had moderate, 23 (10.22%) mild 12 (5.33%) and 1 (0.44%) had complete problem.Conclusions: Significant amount of activity limitation in self care observed with reference to toileting, eating drinking. Hence, this parameters to be stressed on in planning National program on AIDS.

“…It is crucial to understand the extent of disability among people living with HIV in high-prevalence settings in order to inform choices regarding care, policy and research. These findings add to the growing body of literature that calls for attention to disability in high HIV-prevalence settings [4][5][6][7]16,[56][57][58][59]. In particular, this scoping review demonstrates that much is already known about impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions experienced by people living with HIV in hyper-endemic countries, but that key gaps in understanding remain.…”

“…In particular, the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health [10] is a framework that has proven helpful in understanding and taking action on HIV [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The ICF has also been used for better understanding the disability dimensions of other health conditions in Southern Africa [7,[15][16][17]. As such, the ICF offers a potentially useful framework for considering the experience of HIV in the era of enhanced access to ART in Southern Africa.…”

Background: In the era of enhanced access to ART, many people live longer lives but with episodes of disability resulting from HIV, HIV-related conditions, and/or as side-effects of ART. It is crucial to understand the extent of disability among people living with HIV in high-prevalence settings to inform choices regarding care, policy and research. This article presents the results of the first scoping review to examine the extent, nature and range of disability among people living with HIV in HIV hyper-endemic countries. Methods: This scoping review used the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to conceptualize "disability". A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted using specific keyword and subject heading combinations. Identified publications were screened and reviewed according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Data were systematically extracted and reviewed for quality. Extracted data were reviewed for patterns related to methods or results. Results were aligned with the corresponding ICF code. Results: Forty-one articles were included, reporting data from 38 unique studies. Most (78%) of the studies were conducted in South Africa; five in Botswana, one in Zimbabwe and Lesotho, and none in Swaziland. Almost all studies recruited more females than males. All studies except two were in adults. The studies indicate that people living with HIV experience a variety of disabilities. Impairments in body structure/function comprise the majority of data, with particular focus on mental function. Data on activity limitations and participations restriction were limited, however, they were recorded. They indicate severe impact on people's life and possible adherence. Conclusions: We argue that the time has come to elevate the focus holistically on health and life-related consequences of living with HIV and to integrate disability into the discussions and approaches to HIV care.
