Abstract

The continuing ravages of HIV/AIDS have forced human society, especially in the Sub-Saharan African context, to redefine who is a victim of HIV/AIDS quite different from the previous traditional understanding of the victim as the one who is either carrying the virus in his or her blood stream or with a case of full blown AIDS. It is true that the primary and core victims of this horrifying pandemic are those infected. However, the HIV/AIDS pandemic is casting its haunting shadows beyond these primary victims. The secondary victims of HIV/AIDS include the immediate family members - who surround and take care of the infected individual. Beyond the immediate family unit, the HIV/AIDS pandemic has also affected and continues to affect whole villages and towns,engulfing whole regions and countries, thus creating tertiary victims in its wake. And as the pandemic spreads, the whole human race has become a victim in one way or another as we can no longer ignore the clear and present dangers posed by this gargantuan pandemic.
