BACKGROUND: South Africa is experiencing a devastating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, with approximately 7.8 million people living with HIV. International health programs such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) have been assisting citizens in combating the epidemic, but social factors continue to contribute to its spread. The study sought to examine social factors that contribute to the transmission of HIV in Madidi Village, as little is known about this population.
METHODS: The study employed a qualitative design and non-probability sampling. Face-to-face, semi-structured, in-depth interviews using a schedule guide were used to obtain data. To capture all of the interviews, a tape recorder was utilised with the permission of the 12 participants with ages ranging from 18 to 49 years.
RESULTS: The study revealed that the majority of participants were aware of HIV transmission and understood that it cannot be cured. However, misconceptions about HIV transmission still exist; for example, one of the participants stated that HIV can be transmitted through Colgate, which has not been scientifically proven to be a transmitter of HIV.
CONCLUSION: This study shows that people need to be educated more about HIV/AIDS and that the Department of Health officials should play a role in supporting rural areas like Madidi Village to curb the spread of HIV.Contribution: As women and young girls are the most vulnerable members of the society, they must be enabled to take control of their lives.
