Thank you, hon Deputy Speaker. Deputy President, thank you for your responses.
It is reported that South Africa has the biggest and most high profile HIV epidemic in the world, with an estimated 7,2 million people living with HIV in 2017. That is almost 20% of our population between 15 and 49.
To our credit, and you mentioned this, South Africa has the largest ARV treatment programme in the world and this has been supported mainly from our own resources.
