dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research was conducted during 2005 in the Somerville Community in the Qumbu District of the Eastern Cape. The aim of the research was to investigate the attitudes of the community towards people living with HIV/AIDS and also the knowledge of the community about the HIV/AIDS. Data was collected using focus group discussions with 50 members from the Somerville community. Results showed that the community members did not have adequate knowledge around HIV/AIDS and they had negative attitudes towards those who are HIV positive.en_ZA
