2. The population pyramid shown below is for South Africain 2000.What would be the expected shape of the population pyramid in 2025 given the prevalence rate of HIV remains at about 20% for parts of the country and access to anti-retroviral therapy that reduces vertical and horizontal transmission remains limited. Note in the year 2000 the number of females infected with HIV was slightly higher than for males in many areas of South Africa and transmission is mainly through sexual contact and vertical (mother to child).
