ABSTRACT
The paper examined the reported cases of HIV/AIDS infected patients within the periods of 2007 to 2016 at Specialist Hospital Sokoto (SHS), Sokoto State, Nigeria. The Statistical tools used for the project were Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PMCC), Student’s t-test for difference of two independent sample means and Chi-square test for independence. From the analysis it was observed that there is no significant relationship between male and female patients infected with HIV/AIDS. Also, there is no significant difference in the average number of male and female patients infected with HIV/AIDS attending SHS and the 2-test shows that HIV/AIDS infection diseases depend on sex (i.e. male and female).
