All South African babies under the age of one will be treated if they test HIV positive. In a speech to mark World Aids Day in Pretoria, President Jacob Zuma said he hoped the change in policy would save infants' lives. He said it was start of an era of openness and urged South Africans to take responsibility for themselves. Mr. Zuma announced he was making arrangements for his own test. Currently, treatment in South Africa is available only if tests show low levels of immunity. The government estimates 5.5 million people live with the disease – the highest rate in the world – and 59,000 babies are born infected each year. The US has announced it will give 120 million dollars to help fight HIV/Aids.
