Women and childbearing age
Nearly two thirds (2/3) are single mothers of 20 years and most of them are already dead due to HIV/AIDS, leaving orphans behind.
The majority of AIDS cases in women are caused by implants or heterosexual contact.
When HIV positive women are primarily caretakers, they often place their needs far below the needs of their family.
HIV becomes a family issue that imposes Social, Psychological, and economical burden that may trigger a family crisis.
Women balance their need for health care of their children, housing, food etc.
Disclosing HIV status in rural areas in Langas may trigger discrimination.
