HIV/AIDS mortality trends pre and post ART for 1997 - 2012 in South Africa - have we turned the tide?

Conclusion. The number of HIV/AIDS deaths has almost halved since the ART rollout. Of concern is the high mortality in men 45 years and older and the high mortality of men compared with women in the older ages by 2012; this gap has increased with age. Treatment and prevention programmes should strategise how to target men. PMID: 32252867 [PubMed - in process]
