Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 07:48
The percentage of people living with HIV in South Africa has barely changed in the last six years, but new data reveales that between 2002 and 2008 there were many changes in HIV knowledge, risk behaviour and testing habits.

The third national HIV prevalence, incidence and communication survey, conducted in 2008 by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), in conjunction with the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Centre for AIDS Development, Research and Evaluation (CADRE), has given researchers the first real opportunity to study trends in HIV prevalence and risk behaviour. Previous surveys were conducted in 2002 and 2005.
