The South African Government is expected to come under increasing pressure to implement a HIV/Aids treatment policy at a conference in Durban that begins today.
More people are infected in South Africa than in any other country in the world.
Demands for treatment are mounting, with many organisations calling for a policy of therapy to stop the millions of South Africans who are HIV-positive from dying.
But the government is refusing to implement a treatment policy, instead emphasising prevention, nutrition, and poverty reduction as the best ways to contain the epidemic.
