     Abstract The available data about the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) pandemic in Nigeria do not reveal the broader socio-economic impacts of the disease on the households with People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). This research therefore for all intents and purposes aimed to address the socio-economic effects of the HIV/AIDS disease on households and their members. This study was carried out in Kaduna State, Nigeria and in-depth interviews were utilized to collect information from the 39 key informants regarding the socioeconomic brunt of HIV/AIDS epidemic on households with PLWHA in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The findings of this study revealed that HIV/AIDS strike at households since households are affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic and they have to fine-tune their task a bit from income-earning to care giving activities, it further shows that large expenditure goes in the course of treatment and funeral as well as income depreciates due to precipitate mortality and morbidity in the midst of the younger adult wage earners, households are unable to cope with the financial shock as well as stress.
