    In this paper, a sociopolitical perspective is applied in order to explore why individuals in the U.S. who are deaf are disproportionately vulnerable to HIV infection.

Recommendations for policy and practice that are grounded in a well-informed understanding of the roots of deaf oppression in American society are offered.
