To explore the knowledge and practices related to HIV/AIDS by rural South Africans in Limpopo Province. Qualitative research methods were used. Twenty-eight key and general informants participated in individual interviews in summer 2001. The setting was a hospital-based HIV clinic in rural Limpopo Province. All participants were members of a support group, and they had basic knowledge about HIV/AIDS; however, participants indicated that they lacked basic knowledge of HIV/AIDS until they joined the support group. Support groups were effective in educating people about HIV/AIDS.
