HIV AIDS IN SOUTH AFRICA- The National HIV Survey is a “household” survey. This involves sampling a proportional cross-section of society, including a large number of people from each geographical, racial and other social group. The researchers take great pains to try to make the sample as representative as possible, and the findings are later adjusted to correct for likely over- or under-representation of individual groups (according to census data).  Based on this survey, the researchers estimate that 16.8% of all South Africans over 2 years old were living with HIV in 2007. Among those between 15 and 49 years old, the estimated HIV prevalence was 19.2% in 2007. HIV AIDS are griping South Africa so tight that no way can escape. 

HIV CENTERS IN SOUTH AFRICA-  There are many HIV centers in SA. But most of them are located in  cities never connected to Rural area. More than 12000 clinics in South Africa which are doing nice but number of HIV is exploding like anything to kill this advancement in facilities. 

The government has recently, after much delay, devoted substantial resources to fighting the epidemic. In 2000, President  publicly questioned the importance of HIV in causing AIDS, controversially suggesting that the main cause was “poverty” In 2001 the government appointed a panel of scientists, including a number of AIDS denialists (who question the mainstream view on HIV), to report back on the issue.

Hope that one day South Africa will come out of this problem and will back to normal life she had for long time.
