Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Medical male circumcision (MMC) has emerged as one of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention methods for HIV negative men engaged in heterosexual contact. Many studies have documented its efficiency in reducing the risk of contracting HIV infection in men.

Magister Public Health - MPH<br>Human Immune-deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a major public health problem. Globally, the number of new HIV infections is decreasing but the total number of people living with the disease is increasing. An estimated 5.7 million South Africans are currently living with the disease. The life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in South Africa has slowly increased due to the availability of Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART). The progressive "chronicity" of HIV may be associated with a variety of impairments and disabili

Abstract:
<p>In South Africa there is still a substantial amount of prejudice towards people living with Aids (PLA). Initially, Aids was seen as a &lsquo<br>gay&rsquo<br>disease, then a &lsquo<br>black&rsquo<br>disease. People thus tended to avoid high-risk groups rather than high-risk behaviour, and denied their own vulnerability by displacing the disease to an &lsquo<br>other&rsquo<br>who did not belong to &lsquo<br>their&rsquo<br>group. This study focuses on factors that influence and motivate adolescents&rsquo<br>behavior towards HIV/AIDS at Beauvallon High School in Valhalla Park<br>an impoverished
