Photo by David Chancellor @chancellordavid - Khayelitsha township, South Africa - extraordinary to recall how much time we spent attending funerals in Cape Town, South Africa 2003 whilst working on Living(+)Positive. We always found ourselves looking back at the mountain, our hearts and feet firmly held in the dust of the townships whilst documenting those living with HIV - so many have benefited from free access to ARV’s - it’s only now when looking through this work for a client that it slowly dawns on me how many we lost; how many shacks and houses we visited over a period of a year or so simply to find them empty. Thankfully South Africa introduced free antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) in the public sector in April 2004 after a lengthy battle between activists and former President Thabo Mbeki and Health Minister Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, who questioned the link between HIV and AIDS, and ARVs' effectiveness. As of 2016 the estimated overall HIV prevalence rate in South Africa was approximately 12,7% of the total population. The total number of people living with HIV was therefore estimated at approximately 7,03 million in 2016. For adults aged 15–49 years, an estimated 18,0% of the population is currently HIV positive.
