HIV/AIDS infection among teachers in West African countries results in higher mortality rates, an increase in early retirements and lower productivity. These factors exacerbate problems of access, equity, efficiency and management, according to a paper from the HIV/AIDS Impact on Education Clearinghouse. This paper examines the literature on how HIV/AIDS has impacted teachers and other education personnel in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d`Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria and Senegal. It focuses on the areas of: prevalence; impact on professional lives of teachers; impact of teacher infection on schools; impact of teacher infection on students; infection of administrative personnel; responses from teachers; and responses from management.
