The prolonged civil strife in the North-West Zone of Somalia (Somaliland) has hampered the development of social infrastructure and public health services. There are limited data on HIV/AIDS. In 2004, a sentinel HIV seroprevalence survey was conducted. Blood samples were collected from 1561 women attending antenatal care clinics, 249 tuberculosis (TB) patients and 243 people attending sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. Samples were tested for syphilis and HIV. Overall HIV prevalence was 1.4%, significantly higher than that observed in many other countries in the Region. Prevalence was 1.2% among pregnant women 15-24 years, 12.3% among patients with STD and 5.6% among TB patients. The prevalence of syphilis was 1.3% in the pregnant women.
索马里西北部（索马里兰）旷日持久的内战阻碍了社会基础设施和公共卫生服务的发展。有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病的数据有限。2004 年进行了哨点艾滋病毒血清流行率调查。从 1561 名接受产前保健诊所的妇女、249 名结核病（TB）患者和 243 名性传播疾病（STD）诊所就诊者采集了血样。对梅毒和艾滋病毒进行了检测。艾滋病毒总流行率为 1.4%，明显高于该区域许多其他国家的流行率。15-24 岁孕妇的流行率为 1.2%，性传播疾病患者为 12.3%，结核病患者为 5.6%。孕妇的梅毒流行率为 1.3%。
