The study utilised the qualitative approach, in particular the exploratory research design. The population of the study comprised both male and female children between the ages of 12-17 years, who are receiving care and support at Fountain of Hope Clinic in Messina Hospital. Non-probability sampling, in particular its sub-type, purposive sampling, was used to select the children who participated in the study. Eleven participants (11) were interviewed, and the sample size of the study was guided by data saturation during data collection. Semi-structured, open-ended face to face interviews were used to collect data. In order to analyse data, the researcher adopted thematic content analysis, following Tech’s eight steps of qualitative data analysis. Three main themes emerged from the raw data, namely living with HIV/AIDS infection; challenges of living with HIV/AIDS infection; and coping with HIV/AIDS. Sub-themes emerged from the main themes. Ethical considerations were observed and trustworthiness was ensured in the study. The study results were analysed and recommendations based on the results were formulated to enhance the experiences of children living with vertically transmitted HIV/AIDS.1 online resource (x, 130 leaves)enUniversity of VendaChildrenExperiencesUCTDHIV/AIDSPsycho-social614.59993920968257Patients -- South Africa -- LimpopoAIDS -- TransmissionHIV-positive persons -- South Africa -- LimpopoChildren of AIDS patients -- South Africa -- LimpopoAIDS (Disease) -- PatientsAIDS (Disease) -- South Africa -- LimpopoVirus diseases in children -- South Africa -- LimpopoAIDS (Disease) in children -- South Africa -- LimpopoDissertationRamarumo T.
