- HIV否定論の立場をとったMbeki政権によるAIDS犠牲者数は33万人 (2008/11/17)
2000〜2005年のAIDSに死亡者数は250万と推定されており、Harvard School of Public Health (2008/10/20)によれば、33万人がMbeki政権のHIV否定論によるもの。 - 南アフリカのHIV感染拡大は1990年から (2008/11/18)
しかし、HIV感染拡大は、南アフリカ最後の白人政権から進行しており、Nelson Mandela政権ものとでアウトブレーク。感染拡大に責任はThabo Mbeki前大統領ではなく、Nelson Mandela元大統領にある。
南アフリカ政府は、1990年以降、サンプル調査により妊婦のHIV感染率の調査を続けてきた：
3.2.3 Sample size and sampling periodこの数字と大統領就任をあわせると次のようになる：
In 2006, the National Department of Health doubled the sample size to 36 000. This allowed for district level estimates of HIV prevalence in addition to the national and provincial rates. Sample collection from all the sites started on 1st October 2007 and ended on 31st October 2007.
3.2.1 Sentinel population
This study was conducted as an unlinked anonymous survey amongst pregnant women who attended public health antenatal clinic services for the first time during the current pregnancy. The demographic details of the participants, with the exception of any particulars from which it may be possible to ascertain the identity of the patient, were collected using a standardized collection form. A unique bar code was allocated to each of the participants and it is this number that was recorded on the form and also used for labelling the blood samples. The bar code was used to link the demographic information with the lab results while maintaining anonymity of the survey participant.

AIDS/HIV対策が不十分だったとされるNelson Mandela元大統領も、2005年初頭に悲しい形で、その代償を支払っている：
Nelson Mandela, who has devoted much of his life after leaving South Africa's presidency to a campaign against AIDS, said today that his 54-year-old son had died of the disease in a Johannesburg clinic.この発表に続いて、Nelson Mandela氏の孫であり、AIDS関連疾患で死亡したMakgatho L. Mandela氏の息子であるMandla Mandela氏は2003年に死亡した母Zondiの死因がAIDSだったことを発表した：
南アフリカ大統領職を退いた後の人生の大半をAIDS対策キャンペーンに捧げてきたNelson Mandela氏は今日(2005/01/06)、54歳になる息子がヨハネスブルグの病院で病死したと述べた。
The son, Makgatho L. Mandela, who was a lawyer, had been seriously ill for more than a month, but the nature of his ailment had not been made public before his death today.
彼の息子 Makgatho L. Mandela氏は弁護士であり、過去1か月にわたり重病であったが、その病状は死亡した今日まで公表されなかった。
At a news conference in the garden of his Johannesburg home, the elder Mr. Mandela, 86, said that he was revealing the cause of his son's death to focus more public attention on AIDS, which is still a taboo topic among many South Africans.
ヨハネスブルグの自宅の庭での記者会見で、多くの南アフリカ人にとって未だにタブーとなっているAIDSへの関心を高めるために、86歳のNelson Mandela氏は息子の死因を公表した。、
To keep the illness secret would wrongly imply that it is shameful, he said.
"That is why I have announced that my son has died of AIDS," he said. "Let us give publicity to H.I.V./AIDS and not hide it, because the only way to make it appear like a normal illness like TB, like cancer, is always to come out and say somebody has died because of H.I.V./AIDS, and people will stop regarding it as something extraordinary for which people go to hell and not to heaven."
「病気について伏せておくことは、病気が恥ずべきものだと誤って意味することになる。なので、私は息子がAIDSで死亡したことを公表した。我々はHIV/AIDSを隠すのではなく、広く周知しよう。AIDSをTBや癌のような普通の病気と見てもらい、人々がHIV/AIDSを、天国ではなく地獄行きの普通でないものとみなすのをやめさせるには、誰かがHIV/AIDSで死亡したことを公表するしかない。」

Yesterday, standing in the sunshine in a remote Eastern Cape field, Mandla Mandela told mourners his mother Zondi died of the same disease. The family had previously said she died of pneumonia - a euphemism for Aids in South Africa as one of a handful of diseases which kill once the HIV virus has destroyed the immune system. ...また、Nelson Mandela氏は大統領退任後にAIDS対策が不十分だったことを認めている：
昨日、遠く離れたEastern Capeの陽光のもとで、Mandla Madela氏は母Zondiが同じ病気で死亡したと発表した。家族は以前、Zondiが肺炎で死亡したと発表していた。南アフリカでは"肺炎"は、HIVに免疫系を破壊されて死亡したときに、AIDSの婉曲表現のひとつとして使われている。

Indeed, after stepping down from the presidency, Mandela admitted that he had not done enough to fight HIV/AIDS while in office. He had been afraid of the political cost of admitting that the country was facing a massive humanitarian crisis. "AIDS," Mandela says now, "is no longer a disease. It is a human rights issue."だからこそ、退任後の2000年にはAIDSの潜在的危機に直面する多くの国々警告する国際的な指導者たちに加わっている:
大統領職を退任後、Nelson Madela氏は在職中にHIV/AIDS対策が不十分だったことを認めた。彼は国家が人道的危機に直面していると認めることの政治的コスト恐れた。しかし、今やNelson Mandela氏は「AIDSは単に病気なだけではない。人権問題である」と言う。

If there is one vocal criticism of Mandela, it is that he failed to make HIV/Aids a national priority during his presidency from 1994-1999. He acknowledges and accepts the criticism.
Mandela氏への批判があるとすれば、それは彼が大統領在職中の1994〜1999年にHIV/AIDSを国家的優先事項にしなかったことである、彼はその批判を受け入れた。
