Abstract :

There is no doubt that the greatest health problem threatening the human race in these times is HIV/AIDS pandemic. The greatest burden of this scourge is in sub-saharan Africa. This paper reveals the impact of HIV/AIDS on Nigerian economic growth and development using the standard growth model. The model is estimated empirically using a time series data spanning from 1989- 2005. The findings revealed a negative impact of increasing HIV/AIDS prevalence on human capital and economic growth. This was further confirmed by the Granger causality test which showed that output (GDP) is grander caused by HIV/AIDS prevalence.
