Abstract
The effect of HIV/AIDS on secondary school students in Kibiito sub-county Kaborole district.
The research adopted a case study design targeting a number of 4 schools. The Center has four
secondary schools both public and private. The researcher employed purpose sampling
technique. The data was then analyzed using percentages, pie charts, tables, bar graphs and
frequency distribution techniques using SPSS Version 16. The study established that Students
with HIV/AIDS have challenges ranging from absenteeism occasioned by their attendance to
medical care as well as caring for their aging and ailing parents. This eventually forces them to
drop out of school when their parents die. The study recommends that Students living with
HIV/AIDS should be supported by the government through provision of free secondary school
education to ease the burden on parents. Child headed families should be eradicated by
identifying orphans and initiating consultation development funds to help them with bursaries to
reduce poverty
