dc.description.abstractThe research aimed at exploring the perceptions of the University of the Fort Hare students of the inadequate response towards combatting HIV/AIDS by the youth, Alice campus. The study intended to achieve the following objectives: (i) to establish the behavior challenges making the youths of the institutions of Higher Learning vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. (ii) To determine the knowledge levels among the UFH youths concerning HIV/AIDS. (iii) To cross-examine the UFH student's attitudes and feelings towards an inadequate behavior response to HIV/AIDS by the youths in South Africa. The researcher sieved the literature reviewed in the study from several researchers, and the structural functionalist theory molded the study. The following assumptions stimulated the development of the study: (i) the youths at the UFH face behavioral factors making them vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. (ii) The inadequate behavior response among the UFH students towards combating HIV/AIDS reviews their underutilization of the available institutional HIV/AIDS support structures. The following hypotheses guided the study: (i) if the knowledge levels of students are not enough concerning HIV/AIDS, and then the noticeable higher degree of a lack of expertise, lack of professionalism, and lack of innovativeness among the caregivers to motivate students to visit the university HIV/AIDS health support structures are the prevailing menace. (ii) If the knowledge levels of students are enough concerning HIV/AIDS, and then the noticeable higher degree of expertise, professionalism, and of innovativeness among the caregivers motivating students to visit the university HIV/AIDS health support structures are a reassurance.
