South Africa has only 0.7% of the world population, but is carrying 17% of the global HIV burden, and one out of every 100 South Africans has TB. Within South Africa, the province of KwaZulu-Natal has the highest HIV prevalence level of any province. In the rural areas where ACAT works, HIV prevalence (as measured by antenatal surveys) has shown up to 44%. (For more detail refer to a summary document from HIV and AIDS Provincial Strategy 2006 \u2013 2010)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HIV is a major factor in our lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
