We cannot afford to send out mixed messages to the public because this will reverse our gains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince we took office in 2009, we have stabilised HIV prevalence in our province from 39.5% to 37.4% as a direct result of our integrated approach through the Provincial Council on HIV and Aids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 We have ensured that our initiatives on the prevention and distribution of anti-retroviral treatment are successful. About 56 822 children are receiving ARVs, and more than 600 000 adults are receiving ARVs. The waiting list for anti-retroviral treatment no longer exists in this province.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe successes we have achieved over the years are clear proof that the involvement of all leaders, communities and civil society in this battle is the only formula that will ensure that our actions make an impact,\u201d said Mchunu.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa will on 1 December join the international community in commemorating World Aids Day. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traditional and religious leaders will tomorrow share a platform with government
