TASO Mulago has started giving Anti-retroviral drugs to Persons with disabilities whose cd4 is bellow 200 since 2004. Un-fortunately in the Department of Medical and Counseling none knows sign language all the information concerning commitments, and Adherence, is given to care takers. A case study was done by the counselor in-charge of Disability affairs to find out if deaf clients are adhering to ARVS.
