Assessment of the epidemiological situation (2004)

HIV-1 and HIV-2 surveillance information on antenatal clinic women is available from Senegal since the mid-1980s. In Dakar, the capital, HIV-1 prevalence among antenatal clinic women was 1 percent or less for all years up to 1998. HIV prevalence rates among women attending ANC were 0.5 percent in 1998, 0.8 percent in 2001 and 1.1 percent in 2002. In 2002, the median HIV prevalence among women attending antenatal care clinics at 11 sites was 1.1 percent which was very similar to the observed rate in 2001 (0.9 percent)

Although, HIV-1 prevalence has remained very low among antenatal clinic women in Dakar, prevalence among sex workers has increased gradually from less than 1 percent in 1986 to 14 percent in 2002. HIV-1 prevalence among sex workers outside of Dakar, in Kaolack and Ziguinchor, continues to increase, from 0 percent in 1986 to over 20 percent in 2002.

Since 1989, HIV-1 prevalence among male STI clinic patients in Dakar increased from 1 percent to nearly 5 percent in 1993. In 2002, 4 percent of male STI clinic patients tested positive for HIV-1 or HIV-1+2.
