Abstract : This article presents the results of the literature review of studies on the vulnerability of disabled people to HIV and AIDS in Senegal. She has focused on educational resources such as PubMed, Google scholar, CAIRN INFO and the UCAD Digital Library. The results of the studies selected for the review are unanimous on the lack of an inclusive policy targeting people with disabilities in the fight against HIV in Senegal. The review also found that a multitude of factors are associated with the vulnerability of persons with disabilities. These include: economic, socio-cultural, systemic and gender-related factors. These results were used to develop a conceptual framework for a study of HIV-related knowledge, perceptions and risk practices among people with motor disabilities in Keur Massar.
