Abstract

A quarter-century since the first deaths from AIDS were recorded in South Africa, the nation has yet to implement a successful national prevention and treatment program. Policies that reflect a committed political will, reduce stigma, strengthen the public health infrastructure, and fight gender inequality can stem the epidemic's devastating effect.
