In order to assess the HIV prevalence in healthcare workers (HCWs) in Burkina Faso, we conducted a national survey in 97 health facilities from urban and rural areas. Of 1570 HCWs who agreed to participate, 1013 (64·5%) provided a urine sample for HIV testing. The crude prevalence of HIV in HCWs was 3·5% (95% CI 2·3-4·6). HIV prevalence was 0·7% in students and trainees, 3·8% in nurses and midwives, 4·5% in administrative workers, and 4·6% in laboratory workers. After age and area standardization, men from the Demographic Health Survey (DHS) had a similar HIV prevalence (2·3%, 95% CI 1·4-2·9) as male HCWs (2·5%, 95% CI 1·1-4·0), while female HCWs were more infected (4·5%, 95% CI 2·5-6·0) than women from the DHS (2·1%, 95% CI 1·3-2·4). A voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) programme should be specifically implemented and adapted for female HCWs.
为了评估布基纳法索卫生保健工作者(HCWs)中的艾滋病毒流行率,我们在城乡的 97 个卫生设施中进行了一项全国性调查。在同意参加的 1570 名 HCWs 中,有 1013 名(64.5%)提供了尿液样本进行艾滋病毒检测。HCWs 中艾滋病毒的粗流行率为 3.5%(95%CI 2.3-4.6)。学生和受训人员中的艾滋病毒流行率为 0.7%,护士和助产士为 3.8%,行政人员为 4.5%,实验室工作人员为 4.6%。在年龄和地区标准化后,来自人口健康调查(DHS)的男性与男性 HCWs 的艾滋病毒流行率相似(2.3%,95%CI 1.4-2.9),而女性 HCWs 的感染率更高(4.5%,95%CI 2.5-6.0)比 DHS 的女性(2.1%,95%CI 1.3-2.4)。应专门为女性 HCWs 实施和调整自愿咨询和检测(VCT)计划。
