Assessment of the epidemiological situation (2004)

HIV seroprevalence information among antenatal clinic attendees is available since the mid-1980s from Zambia. Lusaka and Ndola are the major urban areas. HIV prevalence among antenatal women tested in the major urban areas increased from 5 percent in 1985 to 27 percent in 1992 and remained at that level through 2002. HIV prevalence among antenatal clinic women outside the major urban centers remained stable at 13 to 14 percent since 1993 until 2002. HIV prevalence ranged from 6 percent to 32 percent of women tested in 19 sites in 2002.

The limited data on sex workers come from Ndola and pertain to 1997-1998. Sixty-nine percent of sex workers tested were HIV positive.
