The focus of this study was to assess the level of knowledge of HIV/AIDS,
and to examine the sexual attitudes and behaviour of adolescents with
learning difficulties/disabilities.
The sample was obtained from a secondary school in Chatsworth that
caters for learners with learning difficulties/disabilities. The study used
quantitative methods of data collection . Sixty adolescents with learning
disabilities completed questionnaires.
The findings indicate that adolescents with learning difficulties/disabilities
have good knowledge of HIV/AIDS and subsequently the majority is not
engaging in sexual activity.
The findings can be used to inform future research on adolescents with
learning difficulties/disabilities, as well as to inform future intervention
strategies. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2008.
