“Southern Africa is host to one of the fastest-growing HIV epidemics in the world.  Infected and at-risk individuals, health care funders and policy-makers have finally begun to wake up to this reality and urgently require competent base of clinical practitioners to manage the epidemic through providing cost effective, quality care.

The Society is well positioned to facilitate and support a response to this enormous challenge by linking medical practitioners into a network of informed, effective care providers. All clinicians and medical scientists that are involved in managing the epidemic are urged to participate in the Society through active membership and taking part in certificated courses.”
