dc.description.abstractHIV/AIDS-related stigma is still a stumbling block to HIV/AIDS prevention strategies in many communities. The phenomenon of stigma affects the social functioning of HIV positive individuals and their mental state as well. This study, therefore, sought to explore the implications of stigma towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the Township of Dimbaza. Multiple sources of data or data triangulation were employed. The study made use of individual in-depth interviews which consisted of 10 individuals who were HIV positive from an organisation working with PLWHA in the township and a focus group discussion comprising of 8 practitioners. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse data and the strengths perspective was used as a lens for discussing the research findings.
