Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging our immune system, HIV interferes with your body's ability to fight the organisms that cause disease. Women living with HIV/AIDS, in particular, have been positioned as a latent source of infection, and have captivated culpability and blame leading to a highly stigmatized and discriminated life. Despite the situation, women and their particular concerns have largely been ignored in HIV/AIDS. Women living with HIV/AIDS experiences of being rejected, shunned and treated differently by physicians, family and close friends. However, youths still have a mixture of correct and incorrect HIV/AIDS knowledge of transmission routes and prevention strategies. In this study the researchers used observation and case study method to analyses the problems faced by the unmarried women living with HIV/AIDS. This study took place in Chennai at Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital. We spent 7 weeks on this field. This approach was appropriate as it is descriptive, and it attempts to take hold of things as they appear and interpretive. This study aims to examine and analyze the feelings, experience and perception of nutrition and health status of affected women and misconception spread among them and problems faced by the unmarried women living with HIV/AIDS. This paper assesses the women living with HIV/AIDS, particularly, unmarried women living with HIV/AIDS, unmarried women injecting drugs and their family structure, because family is the most important socializing agent for youths and family/peer communication about sexuality and accurate knowledge of transmission routes and prevention strategies.
