A comprehensive home\u2010based care programme is needed to lessen the burden placed on the caregivers of those suffering from HIV\/AIDS. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the challenges faced by people who are living with HIV\/AIDS and by their caregivers in resource\u2010poor, remote South African villages.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In\u2010depth interviews were conducted with nine persons living with HIV\/AIDS and their nine direct informal caregivers. Interviews explored the themes of physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Two focus groups, one involving community leaders and one with local health care providers, were conducted to build on themes emerging from the in\u2010depth interviews.
