80 HIV incidence (15-24 years) Fig 6. Shows new Infections among the young people 15-24 years. Source: NDOH/ UNAIDS Spectrum Modelling 2012. The success of the HIV Response as indicated before is among young people. Not only is there a decline in prevalence among young people 15-24 years but there is also a decline in incidence (new infections). HIV incidence for 15-24 years (the percentage of susceptible HIV negative people who become infected each year) declined from 2.2% in 2009 to 1.7% in 2012 and is estimated to drop to 1.3% by 2016.57 In 2012 there were approximately 170,000 new infections among young people 15-24 years.58 The number of new HIV infections among young women (15-24 years) dropped by nearly a quarter from 160,000 in 2004 to 120,000 in 2012.59 The biggest declines were registered in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. However, the gap between the number of infections among young women and men remains wide. The data shows that young women are particularly affected (130,000 women versus 40,000 men).
