ABSTRACT To study the pupils with HIV/ AIDS towards academic performance in five selected primary schools in Wampewo zone primary schools, the researcher employed Random selection sampling techniques to identify the rural and urban co-educational and single sex schools. Samples were divided into boys/males and girls/females in each schools while teachers also divided into males and females of different ages/classes P.4-P.7, to sensitize the researcher's target samples, a field study was undertaken in which the researcher interviewed head teacher, teacher and pupils mainly and interacted with health workers in Wampewo zone health centres. The researcher sought to investigate whether the head teacher in Wampewo zone helped pupils who were sick of HIV/ AIDS to maintain their academic performance and their attitude to school. The sample survey on data collected was interpreted usmg descriptive and inferential applied to conclude findings. It was found out that academic performance on HIV/ AIDS found out that academic performance on HIV/ AIDS infected pupils affected their learning performance. It was true that the increased absenteeism, psychological and health factors, stigma and discrimination were believed to have an effect on the academic performance of pupils infected of HIV/ AIDS against these findings it was recommended that a campaign of testing and treating HIV/ AIDS primary schools pupils in Wampewo zone be held to save the pupils a mysterious destruction, save the pupils a continuous loss and save the zone from the stigma death and absence in class.
