South Africa can beat HIV/Aids in 10 years ANC president Jacob Zuma said in Kempton Park on Thursday.

"If we act together we can beat HIV in the next 10 years," Zuma said at a conference for religious leaders, speaking about how to build a caring society.

Zuma said South Africa needed to utilise the knowledge it had about the disease.

"We know that HIV can be prevented and that treatment works. We know mothers can remain healthy and their babies can be born HIV free. We know infection rates are low for people under 19."

Zuma said the stigma of Aids should be removed.

"HIV and Aids should not be a condition you talk about in hushed tones. We must be open and speak about it.
