Abstract
The study on the impacts of HIV/AIDS on women in Fort-portal Municipality was
conducted using one division. The study specifically aimed at determining the causes,
effects and possible remedies of HIV/AIDS among women. The study employed a case
study approach and at least 86 respondents were realized using Quota, stratified, random
and snowball sampling techniques. Data was collected using structured Questionnaires,
interview guides and checklists which captured both primary and secondary data. Results
reveal that, HIV/ AIDS was still weighing among women and other groups causing both
psycho-social and economic effects. Nonetheless, numerous opportunities were still
available for exploitation among all the stakeholders for socio-economic enhancement
both in the short and long run. The study therefore, recommends increased funding
mainly on sensitization and counseling on decentralized management where women can
take an active role.
