The United Nations says South Africa still has the world's highest number of people living with HIV, estimated at five-point-six-million.

This is despite the fact that the number of new HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa have fallen by more than 26-percent since 1997.

The region remains the area hardest-hit by the outbreak.

UNAids says Sub-Saharan Africa still accounted for 70-percent of the world's new infections last year.
