dc.description.abstractThis study looks at some important facts about the attitudes and feelings of grand parents- of young orphans with HIV/AIDS in Esikhawini and its surrounding. In real life people with AIDS are discriminated by community. This is due to the lack of information about HIV/AIDS more especial in our rural areas, this affects our young children who are born with or who are being raped by the infected people with the wrong idea that says, "if En 'infected person sleep with a virgin he would be cured". This study looks at the treatment of orphan with HIV/AIDS in different age groups. It reveals the impact of living with the pandemic in our community. It is found that people who have been diagnosed as HIV positive are being discriminated against very severely in a range of contexts and environment from school, sports and aspects of service and facilities which have a severe impact on their, social lives and self image. Much of this discrimination is in feet unjustified and unfair because no one has asked to be infected.en_US
