Assessment of the epidemiological situation (2004)

HIV sentinel surveillance of antenatal clinic attendees began in Maputo, the capital and major urban area, in 1988. In 1992 it was established in 5 sites in provincial towns and then was expanded in 2001-2002 to include 36 sites distributed throught all of the 11 provinces. HIV prevalence increased from less than 1 percent in 1988 to 18 percent in 2002 among antenatal clinic attendees tested in Maputo City. Outside of Maputo City, 12.3 percent of antenatal clinic attendees tested were HIV positive. Among women aged 15-24 years attending antenatal clinics, 15 percent in Maputo City were HIV positive and 12 percent in the other sites were HIV positive. There is no information available on HIV prevalence among sex workers in Mozambique.

Between 1987 and 1997, HIV prevalence among male STD clinic patients tested in Maputo increased from 3 to 19 percent. Among female STD clinic patients tested in Maputo, HIV prevalence increased from 5 percent in 1993 to 8 percent in 1997. In 1999, 15 percent of STD clinic patients tested in Maputo were HIV positive. Outside of Maputo, in 1997, HIV prevalence among both male and female STD clinic patients tested was similar, around 26 to 27 percent. In 1999, HIV prevalence among STD clinic patients ranged from 22 percent in Beira to 50 percent in Chimoio.

In 1987, 4 percent of military personnel tested in Tete were infected. Testing three years later, in 1990, found 4 percent of military personnel infected in Pemba.
