Abstrakt/ Abstract: Being a person with disability and having HIV/AIDS is a serious concern. A lot of changes need to take place in order for adjustment to be smooth. Adjusting to this sort of condition may require the service of a rehabilitation counsellor, hence this study sought to assess the existing relationship between rehabilitation counselling and the psychological adjustment of persons with disabilities infected with HIV/AIDS. There were more males than females in the study and the age-range of the respondents was between 20-62 years. The study was analyzed using simple percentage in describing the data gotten from the survey. The study found an existing relationship between rehabilitation counselling and the psychological adjustment of persons with disabilities who are infected with HIV/AIDS. Also, the study explored other major aspects and challenges of PWDs infected with HIV/AIDS such as negative attitudes of the society, inadequate employment and availability of rehabilitation counselling for PWDs infected with HIV/AIDS. In summary, the rights of person with disabilities infected with HIV/AIDS ought to be respected and their dignity preserved though the provision of rehabilitation counselling.
