This article reviews all the literature about disability and HIV and AIDS in Africa in the past decade. It presents data from different surveys and summarises their findings. It also reveals gaps in the research (e.g. research on other disability groups other than the deaf population) and areas of concern (e.g. sexual abuse and the exploitation of people with disabilities). This article would be useful for people interested in research and studies related to the field of disability and HIV and AIDS in Africa
