It is the first time on World AIDS Day that South Africa’s leaders have announced such good news: from April all babies under one years old will be able to get antiretroviral treatment and adults will be able to access to antiretrovirals with a CD4 count of 350 (up from the low bar of 200) – in line with international guidelines.

The government is also scaling up HIV testing, with Zuma and Motsoaledi indicating they will take HIV tests themselves.

I’m going away for two weeks and this is the perfect way to start my holiday. Will be back on December 16.
