The most likely reason for the decline in the number of new cases of HIV infection in Africa since 2008 is:

a. Access to prevention and treatment became available

Access to antiretroviral therapy, education about safe sex practices, and various prevention strategies, such as the use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), have played significant roles in reducing the rate of new HIV infections.
