Abstract
The scourge of HIV/AIDS has affected all aspects of South African society. For the university-aged population, a number of factors have contributed to making the crisis particularly acute. This chapter highlights specific challenges faced by tertiary institutions in South Africa. In addition, a number of programmes developed specifically at the University of Cape Town that directly target university-age students are discussed.
