This report contains the results of the antenatal survey conducted across South Africa during 2003 and includes data on HIV and Syphilis prevalence. The findings show that HIV prevalence rates remain high in South Africa, with an estimated prevalence rate of 27.9%, up from 26.5% in 2002. Although the findings seem to suggest that the epidemic is slowly stabilising, it concludes that HIV and AIDS is still an important public health problem in South Africa.
