DAVEYTON, South Africa — South Africa, already home to 5.7 million HIV-positive people, can expect an additional 5 million to become infected during the next two decades even if the nation more than doubles its already considerable financing for treatment and prevention and gives prevention a higher priority, according to a report presented Friday to the country’s leading advisory body on AIDS policy.
About $102 billion will need to be spent in the next 20 years just to keep the number of new infections at the projected 5 million mark, according to the study.
