The captured requirements were classified into functional and non-functional requirements, the functional requirements were then graphically analyzed using the use case diagram, which was done by using starUML computer software. These findings can be used as the foundation's building block for the development of a mobile application and web-based system for HIV/AIDS healthcare information delivery services. Requirement Description Security  The system should authenticate all users before allowing them to interact with the system functionalities.  The system should maintain password best practices such as maintaining maximum and minimum password age, password history, containing character mixing complexity of a predefined minimum length and employing encryption for password storage [43] .
