Assessment of the epidemiological situation (2004)

HIV sentinel surveillance among women attending antenatal care clinics has been conducted annually at five sites, located in five out of the eight regions, since 1997. In 2000, a survey of HIV prevalence was conducted among sex workers in Bobo-Dioulasso.

In 2000, 'seaters' sex workers in Bobo-Dioulasso had an HIV prevalence of 55% while 'roamers' sex workers had a rate of 31%.

In 2001, the median HIV prevalence among young women aged 15-24 years attending antenatal care clinics was 4.1%, ranging from 2.1% in Tenkodogo to 4.8% in Bobo-Dioulasso and Gaoua

In 2002, the median HIV prevalence among women attending antenatal care clinics at the five surveillance sites was 4.6%, prevalence ranging from 2.1% in Tenkodogo to 6.5% in Bobo-Dioulasso. Median HIV prevalence among attendees among the same antenatal care clinics in rural areas remained stable between 1998 and 2002, while median prevalence among the same antenatal care clinics in urban areas decreased from 8.2% to 5.6%.

In 2004 a National Population Based survey linked to DHS found overall 1.9% prevalence with big differences among urban (3.1%) versus rural areas (1.0%). There were also more infected women than men 3.4 % among female participants versus 2.7% among males.
