On Thursday, a top health official said an estimated half million South Africans with HIV have received antiretrovirals (ARVs). Approximately 300,000 are obtaining ARVs through public hospitals and clinics, while it is likely another 200,000 are receiving them through the private sector, Thami Mseleku, Director-General of the Health Department, said at a press conference. About 5.4 million South Africans have HIV -- the highest caseload in the world. Each day, an estimated 900 South Africans die of the disease, and 1,000 become newly infected. Treatment Action Campaign, an AIDS activist group, said a lack of monitoring makes it impossible to know how many are on ARV treatment, and it said the new figures should be treated with caution. .
