Numbers 1.8 million on antiretroviral therapy in public sector +/ in private sector Successful program Reduction in mother to child transmission 3.5% Increase in life expectancy

Prevention Generally not successful Drivers of the epidemic different in different places, ages etc Behaviour difficult to change Very high awareness of HIV in South Africa in general. Voluntary medical male circumcision.

Prevalence by Gender

Treatment as prevention Pivotal study done, HPTN 052. Discordant couple- one HIV+ and one HIV- One arm was given antiretroviral therapy at a high CD4+ and one arm at CD4+ of 250.

Total HIV-1 Transmission Events: 39 HPTN 052: HIV-1 Transmission Immediate Arm 4 Delayed Arm 35 p <

Total HIV-1 Transmission Events: 39 HPTN 052: HIV-1 Transmission Linked Transmissions: 28 Unlinked or TBD Transmissions: 11 p < Immediate Arm: 1 Delayed Arm: 27 18/28 (64%) transmissions from infected participants with CD4 >350 cells/mm 3 23/28 (82%) transmissions in sub-Saharan Africa 18/28 (64%) transmissions from female to male partners

Treatment as prevention Pre- exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) – Truvada – For both heterosexual and homosexual transmission. – Recently approved by the FDA Microbicide - CAPRISA 004 (UKZN)

Public enemy No.1 TB

Incidence in SA ( uttype=html

The easy answer.

The tough answers Policy reasons Diagnostics Treatment Research

Diagnostics

HIV

Diagnostics Time to diagnosis

Microscopy Acid fast bacteria visualized on a slide may represent M. tuberculosis or non-tuberculous mycobacteria

Gene Xpert MTB/RIF Automated real-time nucleic acid amplification technology for rapid and simultaneous detection of tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance

National Strategic Plan for HIV, TB and STIs Very ambitious document Know you epidemic Getting to zero

What are the good things? Political Commitment Dark Mbeki days are over Minister Aaron Motsaeledi

What are the challenges? Changing /decrease in international funding Uncertainty about PEPFAR, Global Fund Disbanding of SANAC and the re-formation. Poorly functioning health care system Lack of accountability between provincial and national authorities

Role of the SAHCS Brains trust – Training – Guideline development – Taking new research findings and turning them into policy Advocacy – Keeping government on track
