ABSTRACT United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)/ Wold Health Organisation (WHO) statistics estimate that 33 million people worldwide are infected with HIV. Women face the greatest risk of acquiring HIV due to substantial mucosal exposure to seminal fluids, prevalence of non-consensual sex and sex without condom use. Studies by WHO (2006), there is a positive relationship between sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and domestic violence. The studies indicate that there is a reciprocal relationship between sexual violence and HIV/AIDS, pointing out that sexual violence exemplifies a smaller aspect of domestic violence. Through sexual exploitation of women, they are exposed to one of the most extended forms of gender violence which is a factor in the spread of HIV/AIDS. A research study by Wandera (2008) in one of the districts of Uganda showed that 35 volunteer couples were invited for voluntary counselling and were oriented on couple dialogue techniques to avert gender based violence, and subsequently were counselled. The research revealed that couples that received HIV counselling were more likely not to experience domestic violence. Wandera’s study however, did not address the effects of voluntary counselling and domestic violence on career success among female workers living with HIV/AIDS, a gap that this study seeks to address. The study was majorly guided by three research questions and these were as follows; What are the effects of voluntary counselling on career success of female workers in Kampala Central Division?
