Abstract
This paper discusses the broad impacts of AIDS on women in Uganda. An extensive literature review and analysis demonstrate that not only is the risk of HIV-infection and AIDS higher for women than for men in Uganda, individual and social impacts of the disease on Ugandan society disproportionately affect women. Both afflicted and nonafflicted women are greatly affected by the AIDS scourge through their multiple roles as individuals, caregivers, and mothers. Research demonstrates that AIDS in Uganda presents severe socioeconomic implications for women as well as a higher risk for infection due to cultural expectations, subordinate status, and patriarchy in the society.
