HIV/AIDS in South Africa. HIV/AIDS is perceived to be more prevalent in South Africa than anywhere else worldwide. About 12% of the South African population is affected by HIV/AIDS; excluding children, that percentage rises to 18%.
Women aged between 30 and 34 and males aged 35 to 39 had the highest infection rates: 36% of females and 28.8% of males in these respective age groups contracted HIV. Provincially, KwaZulu-Natal has the highest HIV prevalence (16.9%) and the Western Cape the lowest (5%). The survey is the fourth in a series of national HIV household surveys conducted by a consortium of scientists led by the HSRC â the previous surveys were conducted in 2002, 2005 and 2008.
