Is there enough information available for people with HIV/AIDS wanting to transition to work to be able to effectively negotiate the process without specialized assistance?
No. Current systems of governmental and non-governmental workforce development and rehabilitation are rarely client-centered, frequently complicated, often perceived as inaccessible to people with disabilities in general, and communities impacted by HIV/AIDS in particular. Without very effective self-advocacy, PLWHA often have great difficulty realizing the benefits of these programs. The need for specialized assistance in leveraging these services is the fundamental motivation for advocates who seek some limited capacity for CARE-funded rehabilitation and employment services.
