This data is also supported by the annual Department of Health Ante-natal clinic (ANC) surveys that showed about 30.2% of pregnant women were HIV positive in 2005. This in turn indicates that many thousands of babies would have been infected by their mothers in South Africa during 2004 to 2005. By the end of 2005, it is estimated that there were 1 200 000 AIDS orphans (mother or both parents lost to AIDS) under 15 years of age in South Africa. During 2005, 320 000 people died of AIDS in South Africa.
