The South African National Department of Health and private health-care providers now report that conditions are no longer so desperate. Three approaches have helped to contain the spread: the provision of antiretroviral therapy by the government and donor agencies; better treatment of tuberculosis patients, who tend to contract HIV/AIDS as well; and a greatly expanded program to prevent mother-to-child transmission.
南非国家卫生部及私人医疗保健机构现在报告的情况已经不那么令人绝望。三种方法共同遏止了艾滋病的蔓延：由政府及捐助机构提供的抗逆转录病毒疗法；更好地治疗肺结核患者（往往也是艾滋病携带者/艾滋病患者）；以及大力推广艾滋病预防计划，遏制艾滋病毒的母婴传播。
