Abstrakt: ABSTRACT Our study aims to determine the predictors of access to HIV services among disabled persons in two West African countries. This was a secondary analysis from a cross-sectional study carried out in Burkina Faso, in 2017 and Niger, in 2018. People with a disability of severity 3 or 4 and aged 15-69 were included in the study. Access to HIV-related services was measured separately through three variables (access to condoms when needed, history of testing for HIV and ever attended at an HIV-related service). Factors associated with access to HIV-related services were identified using logistic regression. 1794 participants were recorded, including 973 in Burkina Faso and 821 in Niger. The ability to easily obtain a condom when needed was reported by 29.4% of respondents in Burkina Faso and 5.7% of respondents in Niger. The proportion of participants who had been tested for HIV was 32.2% in Burkina Faso and 13.6%. We observed that 5.7% and 3.5% of the participants were in contact with an HIV-related service. Only educational status was associated with access to HIV prevention services in both countries. There is a need to increase the access to HIV prevention for disabled persons in the two countries.
