Swaziland: HIV/AIDS, Work and Development
Downloads
Summary
Swaziland has a population of 1 million. Its HIV prevalence rate stood only at 5% in 1992 before rising to more than 38.8 % in 2003 (UNAIDS). It is expected to stabilize at 36% by 2010, shrinking the country’s population by 25%. The impact of the epidemic is felt at many levels: it has had a negative impact on production as about 45% of Swazis in their twenties are HIV-positive—the highest rate so far (UNAIDS 2002)
