The just-world hypothesis is the assumption that a person's actions are inherently inclined to bring morally fair and fitting consequences to that person, to the end of all noble actions being eventually rewarded and all evil actions eventually punished. The present study is counted to find out the significance of the relationship of well-being of men and women living with HIV/AIDS with their personal and general belief in just world. A purposive sample of 100 male and 100 female people living with HIV/AIDS are selected for the study. The sample was selected for the study from Positive People Network, NGOs and ART centers. The sample was collected from Hubli-Dharwad Corporation and Gadag. Personal Belief in Just World Scale developed by Claudia Dalbert (1999); The General Belief in Just World Scale developed by Dalbert and Schmitt (1987); and Trait Well Being Inventory developed by Dalbert (1992) measures were used to test the hypotheses. Results of the present study revealed that, General belief and Personal belief of just world of men living with HIV/AIDS have positive correlation mood level and satisfaction level. Further, General belief and Personal belief of just world of men living with HIV/AIDS have also had positive and significant relationship with overall mood and satisfaction level. Contrary to this, General belief and Personal belief of just world women living with HIV/AIDS has no relation with mood level, but has relationship with satisfaction level and overall mood and satisfaction level of women living with HIV/AIDS.Keywords
