Snapshot of issues discussed:
- South Africa has 13% of world epidemic. The infection rate has increased from 4% in 1990 to 30% in 2008.
- NGOs are at the epicentre of innovation in service delivery. Burn-out amongst workers is high. Support systems are therefore urgently needed so that they can continue doing their work.
- How is the treatment of HIV+ people integrated and prioritised into a country that has many competing developmental priorities?
