The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) South Africans continue to face considerable challenges, including societal stigma, homophobic violence (particularly corrective rape), and high rates of sexually transmitted diseases and infections (particularly Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/AIDS) even when discrimination based on sexual orientation was outlawed by South African's post-apartheid constitution. This study was conducted to ascertain violence, abuse and discrimination against the LGBTI sector as key factors that hinder the smooth implementation of HIV/AIDS programme among sexually minority (LGBTI) group in Walter Sisulu University, South Africa. The self-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The study involved 3048 purposively selected participants (1285 male and 1763 female) aged 17-38 years. About 70.5% of the participants witnessed physical attack as a form of violence against people in same-gender relationship; 47.7% disagreed that violent targeted at this sexually minority group is justified. The LGBTI face challenges which include verbal insults (937, 32.4%), bullying (532, 18.4%) and name-calling (1389, 48%). Discrimination against members of the LGBTI sector was witnessed in various forms: non-acceptance (981, 33.9%), disapproval of act of homosexuals (1308, 45.2) and denial of rights (327, 11.3). Violence, abuse and discrimination which constitute stigmatisation among the LGBTI sector are received with mix feeling. Some respondents justified the use of one or more of these key elements of stigmatisation against the LGBTI (6.6%, supports violence), others condemned these acts of stigmatisation (28.8%), against discrimination). Social stigma which resulted from violence, abuse and discrimination exist in this institution and is responsible for the unwillingness of disclosure of sexual orientation among the LGBTI members. An enabling environment should be created where the LGBTI members could come out freely to access programmes targeted at the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS.
南非的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和间性人（LGBTI）继续面临相当多的挑战，包括社会污名、恐同暴力（特别是矫正强奸）以及性传播疾病和感染的高发病率（特别是人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）/艾滋病），即使南非后种族隔离宪法禁止基于性取向的歧视。本研究旨在确定暴力、虐待和歧视 LGBTI 群体是阻碍南非沃尔特·西苏鲁大学性少数群体（LGBTI）实施艾滋病毒/艾滋病方案的关键因素。使用自我结构化问卷收集数据。该研究涉及 3048 名经精心挑选的参与者（1285 名男性和 1763 名女性），年龄在 17-38 岁之间。约 70.5%的参与者目睹了针对同性关系人群的身体攻击形式的暴力行为；47.7%不同意针对这一少数性群体的暴力行为是合理的。LGBTI 面临的挑战包括言语侮辱（937 人，32.4%）、欺凌（532 人，18.4%）和辱骂（1389 人，48%）。在各种形式中都观察到对 LGBTI 部门成员的歧视：不接受（981 人，33.9%）、不赞成同性恋行为（1308 人，45.2%）和拒绝权利（327 人，11.3%）。构成 LGBTI 群体污名化的暴力、虐待和歧视受到了不同的感受。一些受访者为对 LGBTI 使用这些污名化关键因素中的一个或多个因素辩护（6.6%，支持暴力），而其他受访者谴责这些污名化行为（28.8%，反对歧视）。这种暴力、虐待和歧视导致的社会污名在该机构中存在，这也是 LGBTI 成员不愿意披露性取向的原因。应该创造一个有利的环境，让 LGBTI 成员能够自由地参与旨在预防和控制艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方案。
