Although Kabande is lucky to be alive, he is already counting his days on mother earth, having tested HIV positive in 2002 The HIV and AIDS scourge has left rural and farming communities entrapped in both income and asset poverty, amid rising livelihood insecurity A recent survey found that agricultural output declined by 50 percent among households affected by AIDS illness and deaths Frequent funeral attendance also affects land use and diminishes agricultural productivity
