Includes bibliographical references (leaves 121-127). / This study was aimed at examining the economic consequences and the coping mechanisms used by households affected by HIV/AIDS. There is concern that even with the provision of free Antiretroviral Therapy (ART); HIV/AIDS may exert negative economic consequences on People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and their households. Households then come up with coping mechanisms in response to the economic burden of HIV/AIDS. In addition, social capital available to households may positively influence households' ability to cope with the economic burden of HIV/AIDS.
