Abstract
The study investigated the social and emotional consequences experienced by women
living with HIV/AIDS in Kaduna metropolis. The ex-post factor survey method with
stratified random sampling technique was used in the collection of the data. Three
hundred and fifty one women living with the disease within Kaduna metropolis were
sampled for the study. Among the variables investigated are: social stigma, social
discrimination, social rejection and emotional consequences of living with the disease
by the women. t-test, Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to identify significant
differences between groups. The result of the data analysis revealed among others that
marital status, age, educational level and occupation of women are significant factor in
the social and emotional consequences they experience as a result of living with
HIV/AIDS in the metropolis. The women who were not married tended to suffer from
social rejection because of the way the society regards victim of the disease. Women
who were above forty years suffered more than those below 40yrs from the social and
emotional consequences. Of the social consequences, social Stigma was ranked the
highest by the victims. Based on these findings, it was recommended among others
that there should be increased enlightenment campaign by both NGOs and concerned
Government agencies and infected individuals should cooperate and form associations
in their different locations towards encouraging and supporting one another
