Prevention of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in South Africa includes early detection and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), as well as health promotion activities. The latter include health education programmes and the promotion of screening activities such as voluntary counselling and testing (VCT). The South African government recognises the need for creating equity for access to health care services. The 1997 White Paper for the Transformation of the Health System, stipulates one of the aims of health Policy in the new South Africa as ‘promoting equity by developing a single, unified health system’. This commitment is inclusive of the Platfontein community which comprises the two largest San-groups in South Africa: the !Xun and the Khwe who were settled on the Platfontein farm at the end of 2004. There are 3500 !Xun and 1100 Khwe currently living in the Platfontein community. A health facility, compliant with the principles of Primary Health Care (PHC), was built on the farm to render services to the Khwe and !Xun communities who were not recognised as a distinct cultural group during the Apartheid era in South Africa. For the young people in the community it was the first time they could access the formal schooling and health system in South Africa. The objective of this study was to assess the perceptions, attitudes, behaviour and knowledge levels among the school-going youth of the Platfontein community, about STIs, HIV/AIDS and the health care services that are available to them.
