**6. Conclusion**

The study gave an insight into the psychosocial needs and support services accessed by HIV/AIDS patients of the University at Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. It revealed that HIV/AIDS patients at the hospital are facing some challenges in terms of meeting their psychosocial needs and accessing support services. The areas that need attention include esteem and aesthetic needs and provision of psychological/counselling and financial supports. There is no doubt that if the needs of the PLWHA are met, they would be better equipped to adjust and contribute to the development of the society.
