Summary

This is a watershed cultural and demographic survey, commissioned by former president Nelson Mandela, and it came up with some surprising results! This study sampled a cross-section of 9 963 South Africans from all walks of life to discover the average ages and status of HIV+ people, the geographic spread of infections and gender risk incidence, the affect on children in South Africa, indications of sexual behaviour changes and levels of understanding of HIV/AIDS risk. While the Executive Summary contains results, conclusions and recommendations, the Full Report takes a deeper look at the methodology and processes involved in its execution.
