People Living with AIDS

Stigmatization

People living with the HIV/AIDS are shunned and sometimes mocked in the communities they live in. Certain family members, sometimes, do not want to get close to these people since most people believe they can get the disease by touching the infected person.

Unemployment

Most people living with the disease are not given any chance to work at any place of their choice. Some workplaces do not even want to employ them. If they are in any trade, customers do not want to purchase their goods once people know their HIV status. This forces people with HIV/AIDS to stay at home without any means of taking care of themselves financially.

School dropout

Children with HIV/AIDS are shunned by their colleagues at school. These children find it difficult associating themselves with their friends. They may be forced to leave the school and stay at home to avoid any form of embarrassment.

Streeteism

Most children with HIV/AIDS and have parents who live the disease cannot take care of themselves. They have no option to go the streets and begs for alms and encourage in jobs in order to earn a living.

Financial difficulties

Since people with HIV/AIDS are highly restricted when it comes to employment, they find it hard to feed themselves and the family. They cannot get enough money to visit the hospital for treatment. They are abandoned and left to their fate.

Death

Depending on whether or not people living with HIV/AIDS get appropriate medicine to sustain them for long, they eventually die. Some death may come early because such people do not have enough money to finance such treatment plans like buying antiretroviral drugs.
