Abstract
The HIV and AIDS pandemic first surfaced in South Africa in the early 1980s among the homosexual community. The virus rapidly mutated into varieties infecting and affecting the heterosexual community as well and spread stealthily, exponentially and lethally during the 1990s, from less than 1% in 1990 to 10% by 1999 in the general population, and from 0.7% to 22.4% among pregnant women (Shisana et al., 2014).
