dc.description.abstractThe Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV) and the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which is a terminal phase of HIV infection, emerged as a pandemic over three decades ago. The disease has imposed a heavy threat to the health of many women and it is a big burden to them economically, socially, psychologically and even culturally. HIV is a virus that attacks the body's defence system rendering it vulnerable to many other diseases and complications. This study examines HIV/AIDS and the associated economic scourge among women living with HIV/AIDS in Cross-River State of Nigeria. This paper adopts a multidisciplinary approach to examine critically this monster and concludes that gender differences, gender inequality, gender based violence, other gender norms and unkind traditions fuel the spread of HIV infection in women in Cross-River State, bringing about poor health and economic outcomes.en_US
