In a humanitarian emergency, HIV/AIDS prevention and reproductive rights are not likely to be seen as a priority. But Africa's refugees and displaced persons face the prospect of a life of poverty, powerlessness and social instability: conditions that increase their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. "Refugees and IDPs (internally displaced persons) are often at a higher risk of HIV/AIDS, but often in crises, reproductive health is put on the backburner," Helen Jackson, regional HIV/AIDS advisor for the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) told IRIN.
