Living with HIV I AIDS in Rakai District.
AIDS is still a serious problem because it has led to increased number of widows (Female

however the Research study was carried out only in one NGO that to say Rakai
Counsellors' Association which is located at the District Head quatiers.
Random sampling method was used to get different respondents. The respondents
included PLWHAs, Orphans and the Staff of RACA and this totaled to 45 (forty five)
respondents used. The data was collected through interviewing and the questionnaires to
the respondents which were answered.
The researcher formulated questions which she distributed to the respondents to fill in,
thus getting the needed info1mation because the researcher was interested in getting
different options or views from the respondents. This saved time since few hours were
needed for the respondents to answer questions asked by filling in the gaps.
Interviews were conducted to enrich the data this was because they high response, better
compression and I was able to get first hand or primary information. The findings of this
study were therefore ensured of good management of PLWHAs, offering services
through NGOs' intervention and the govenm1ent. Unlike any other area in Rakai,
