MZANSI’s young black women have the highest rate of HIV infection.
That shock revelation was made by the Human Science and Research Council (HSRC) and Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi in Pretoria yesterday.

The HSRC presented findings of its latest national HIV household survey of people with the virus, and new infections, in 2012. There were significant improvements in managing HIV in Mzansi, but HSRC and Medical Research Council scientists also found worrying factors. New infections in 2012 were highest among young women aged 15 to 24 at 2,5%. That was nearly four times higher than for men in that age group (0,6%).

Black African women aged 20 to 34 had the highest incidence of HIV of all age groups.
HSRC CEO Dr Olive Shisana said women were still highly vulnerable to infection, but more people with HIV were living longer because of government’s ARV rollout.
“The disproportionately high HIV prevalence levels among females in the country, and high HIV prevalence in unmarried cohabiting people, however, require a rethinking of conventional approaches of HIV prevention in the affected communities,” she said.

The survey found that of the 6,4 million people with HIV and Aids in 2012, more than 2 million were getting ARV treatment. Since the previous survey in 2008, there had been a drop in condom use in all age groups – except for people aged 50 and older.

At the same time, there was an increase in multiple s*xual partnerships among people aged 15 years and older.
Professor Leickness Simbayi, executive director at the HSRC and a principal investigator of the survey, said: “The increases in some risky s*xual behaviours are disappointing, as this partly accounts for so many new infections still occurring in South Africa.”
South Africans must continue to be warned not to be complacent about HIV prevention and to keep on with safer s*x practices to avoid infection.
