Abstract

The socioeconomic impact of the AIDS epidemic in Uganda has been evaluated through carrying out a household survey in central Kampala. A chronic disease with fever and weight loss, occuring mainly in young adults, caused about 1% mortality in 1988 in the area studied. There was a negative relation between being orphaned and access to school education. It is suggested that community-based AIDS patient care activities should put special emphasis on educational support of these children.
