The advent of free-access to ARV-treatment in South Africa has been a signifier of hope amongst fellow South Africans. This hope has in effect led to the government s assumption that the disclosure of an HIV/AIDS-infected status would be easier due to the treatment s effectiveness. Disclosing an HIV/AIDS-infected status to fellow residents, has for this reason been made a policy in accessing ARV-treatment.
