초록/요약
The HIV/AIDS pandemic is a major challenge to economic, social, and environmental sustainability in all regions in sub-Saharan Africa. This study brings to you a qualitative study showing how HIV/AIDS is related to labor availability, household resources, agricultural productivity, health status, social status and market participation in agricultural households in the North West region of Cameroon. Respondents acknowledged increases in widow-and-orphan-headed households, labor shortages because of illness and caretaking responsibilities, a decline in household resources due to medical health expenditures and other related spending that come as a result of HIV/AIDS, loss of land and other assets when a person dies with this disease especially widows and orphans and changes on how agriculture is practice and its productivity. My research highlights a huge downward spiral of livelihood degradation in rural households that are vulnerable to this problem and so I suggest specific interventions to better sustainability
