The study investigated the perception of HIV/AIDS risk and sexual risk behaviours among youths with disabilities (YWD) in comparison with youths without disabilities (comparison group).  The study adopted a cross-sectional survey with 362 participants comprising 181 YWD with visual impaired 29(16%), physically challenged 40 (22.1%) and hearing impaired 112 (61.9%) and comparison group (N = 181).  A 19-item structured questionnaire was used for data collection.  The instrument was revalidated and found to be highly reliable and valid for the study.  Kruskal-Wallis test for differences was used to determine the differences in perception of HIV/AIDS risk and sexual risk behaviours among the two groups as well as t-test.  The results showed that there was a significant difference in perception of HIV/AIDS risk between YWD and the comparison group [X2 = (1) = 27.79, p < .01)] and well as a significant difference in sexual risk behaviours among the two groups [X2 = (1) = 23.117, p < .01)].  The t-test also revealed a significant difference between the groups on sexual risk behaviours [t(360) = 4.926, p < .01)]and HIV/AIDS risk [t(360) = 5.301, P < .01)].  It was further reported that YWD recorded higher sexual risk behaviour ( = 9.35, SD = 4.137, n = 181) than the comparison group ( = 7.48, SD = 3.008, n = 181).  This trend was also reported on HIV/AIDS risk, with YWD recording higher ( = 14.56, SD = 6.537, n = 181) than the comparison group ( = 11.23, SD = 5.385, n = 181).  The findings of the paper were duly discussed with far reaching recommendations for policy making.  The study offers a new understanding of the perception of the HIV/AIDS risk and sexual risk behaviour in this group of youth population as well as provide relevant stakeholders with new vista in handling HIV/AIDS issues and sexuality of the disabled.

The role of sexual attitude and sexual risk-behavior in the perception of HIV-vulnerability and differences among youths with disability and able-bodied youths was investigated. The cross-sectional survey included purposively selected youths with visual, hearing and physical impairments (n = 181) and able-bodied youths (n = 181 as comparison group) with mean age of 23.75 years in public institutions. Data was gathered with the use of a 44-item questionnaire which included a Braille version. Analysis included descriptive, cross-tabulation, and 2X2 ANOVA. Sexual risk behavior is related and has influence on perceived HIV-vulnerability in both groups, while sexual attitude did not. Youths with disability who have liberal sexual attitude and high score in sexual risk-behavior reported the highest perceived HIV-vulnerability. Visually-impaired participants perceived a higher level of HIV-vulnerability compared to the hearing and physically impaired. Health care planners should consider sexual risk behavior in improving perceived HIV-vulnerability in both impaired and able-bodied populations.
