Abstract
The study examined the cultural factors and sexual practices of women
living with HIV/AIDS in South West, Nigeria. Three states were chosen
out of the six states in South West. One hundred and Eighty Three
women living with HIV/AIDS were drawn from the three states.
Descriptive survey research design was used for the study. A
questionnaire titled “Questionnaire on women living with HIV/AIDS
(QWLH/A)” was administered on the respondents. The findings
revealed that there is high significant relationship between cultural
factor and sexual practices in placing women on the risk of contracting
HIV/AIDS. Based on the findings, it was recommended that government
should introduce sex education for young Nigerians. The practice of
widow inheritance can die slowly by testing both parties involved
before the inheritance is carried out.
