60percent -- This list acknowledges by its name that we have a feminised HIV/AIDS epidemic. Within southern Africa of those infected it is believed that some 60% are women. While the South African National Strategic Plan suggests that 55% are infected, actuarial modelling suggests that this is an underestimate. We are creating a safe and respectful space to dialogue on HIV/AIDS within a gender, women's rights and sexual and reproductive health and rights lens through the continuum of prevention, treatment and care. This has been the result of discussions with the AIDS Legal Network, the Democratic Nursing Association of South Africa, Health Systems Trust, Ipas South Africa, International Community of HIV Positive Women, Mosaic Healing and Training Centre for Women, OUT LGBT, Tswaranang Legal Advocacy Centre, and Womensnet. This group forms the current reference group for informing this list.
