In most countries in the SADC region, the prevalence rates have either gone down or have stabilized, due to government adopting, formulating and implementing policies that seek to reduce levels of infection, encouraging behavioural change, and providing access to Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT), HIV treatment, Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT), and Anti Retroviral Therapy (ART).
