Deputy President Paul Mashatile has emphasized the critical need for increased HIV testing, diagnosis, and treatment initiation in South Africa, highlighting the importance of adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) to maintain high viral suppression rates.

Speaking at a World AIDS Day event on Sunday, Mashatile reaffirmed the country’s commitment to combating the HIV epidemic. He underscored the role of early detection and consistent treatment in reducing new infections and improving health outcomes for people living with HIV.

“The fight against HIV is far from over. We must intensify testing efforts to ensure no one is left behind. Early detection and timely treatment are essential for maintaining low viral loads and preventing transmission,” Mashatile said.

He further stressed the importance of treatment adherence, noting that consistent use of ART not only prolongs life but also significantly reduces the risk of spreading the virus. “While we have made great strides in expanding access to treatment, we must focus on ensuring that patients stay on their prescribed regimens to achieve sustained viral suppression,” he added.

Mashatile’s remarks come as South Africa continues to grapple with one of the highest HIV prevalence rates globally. Despite advancements in ART and improved health outcomes, challenges such as stigma, access, and adherence remain significant barriers to long-term success.

The Deputy President concluded by reiterating the government’s commitment to enhancing HIV care and reducing new infections. He called for stronger education initiatives, expanded testing efforts, and the dismantling of societal barriers to treatment.

South Africa’s efforts to combat HIV have garnered international praise, but officials caution that sustained vigilance and innovation are essential to fully control the epidemic.
