Reduce by 50% the rate
of new HÌV infections by
2011. The intention is to
ensure that the large
majority of South
Africans who are HÌV
negative remain HÌV
negative
Reduce vulnerability to HÌV infection and the
impacts of AÌDS;
Reduce sexual transmission of HÌV;
Reduce mother-to-child transmission of HÌV; as
well as,
Minimize the risk of
HÌV transmission through
blood and blood products.
» High condom use among
young people
» Rates of HÌV testing have
doubled
» Published HÌV handbook
» Almost no baseline data,
making the
measurement of
progress reliant on
current trends
» Stigma, lack of
awareness, and socio-
economic status are
barriers to getting
"Reduce HIV
infection and AIDS

of voluntary counselling and
testing and promote regular
HÌV testing (covered under
Prevention, above)
Goal 6: Enable people

lead healthy and productive
lives

Ìncrease coverage of

Anti-retroviral Drugs & Nutrition Intervention
» Best HÌV/AÌDS
treatment program in the
world
» Lab services more
available+accessible
» Home base care
» Nutrition supplements
provided provincial
areas
» More costly than
prevention method
· Financial burden
» More adult access than
children access
» Treated if CD4 counts
less than 200 (or stage 3
or 4 of AÌDS)
The method is used to
evaluate the others so that
the weaknesses of these
methods can be fixed, and
the reduction of HÌV/AÌDS
incidences can be done
more efficiently
608l 9. Develop and implement a monitoring and evaluation framework for
appropriate indicators
Support research in the development of new prevention
technologies
Create an enabling environment for research in support of the NSP
. Development and promotion of research on behavior change

» HÌV and AÌDS
research project in
2000-2005
» Ensures new drug
safety
» Allows efficiency
» Underfunded and
underappreciated
so data is poor
» Too many

· Limited distribution of ARVs
» The Department of Education
· Ìntegrated sexual reproductive health into curriculum
