The continuing in frequency of effective interventions to ease the impact of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic is disturbing given the stress and shock of the endemic on the livelihoods of households with People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Ineffective HIV/AIDS interventions are products of limited conceptual frameworks and methodological tools to address the brunt of HIV/AIDS on the livelihoods of households with PLWHA in Kaduna, Nigeria.It is worth noting that there is no particular or unified theory of practice but, rather, there are interrelated long-established practice of applying and building on the previous scholarly work of the earlier and modern-day theorists by constituting a more inclusive framework to the study of the livelihoods of households with PLWHA. Therefore, this study suggest the theory of practice as a possible complementary conceptual base for livelihoods of households with PLWHA in Kaduna, Nigeria.
