Anyone can get displaced by a natural disaster like a hurricane, tornado, tsunami, or wildfire, including people with HIV.
People with HIV should be prepared for a possible displacement because it can impact their ability to access HIV medicines and treatment that are needed to stay healthy and maintain a low risk of HIV transmission.
People with HIV are more likely to acquire human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause warts and several kinds of cancer.
People with HIV should be vaccinated against HPV and undergo regular screening for anal cancer and cervical cancer.
