While the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus shows a decreasing trend globally, it is reported that the frequency of the infection and the associated mortality has increased in Somalia. HIV infection also plays an important role in maternal mortality and morbidity.
It is aimed to determine the HIV prevalence in pregnant women by observing the general population.
It was a quantitative, retrospective study conducted to examine the records of anti-HIV antibody test results of all patients. The sample size was calculated as 664 with a 99% confidence interval (CI) and a 5% margin of error. Anti-HIV results of selected patients in the electronic database were obtained. Mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values were calculated for the age. Percentages were calculated for prevalence.
A total of 7959 pregnant were tested and 17 pregnants were found to be positive (0.2%). The results of 199,936 patients were analyzed. A total of 699 patients were found to be positive (0.3%). Of the 699 positive cases, 293 (41.9) were female and 406 (58.1%) were male. HIV seroprevalence in men and women was 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively.
Within the scope of WHO's global HIV elimination goal, Somalia needs effective national and international initiatives.
虽然全球人类免疫缺陷病毒的流行率呈下降趋势,但据报道,索马里的感染频率和相关死亡率有所上升。艾滋病毒感染在孕产妇死亡率和发病率方面也起着重要作用。
旨在通过观察普通人群来确定孕妇中的艾滋病毒流行率。
这是一项定量回顾性研究,旨在检查所有患者的抗艾滋病毒抗体检测结果记录。样本量计算为664,置信区间为99%,误差幅度为5%。获取电子数据库中选定患者的抗艾滋病毒结果。计算年龄的平均值、标准差、最小值和最大值。计算流行率的百分比。
共检测了7959名孕妇,发现17名孕妇呈阳性(0.2%)。分析了199936名患者的结果。共发现699名患者呈阳性(0.3%)。在699例阳性病例中,293例(41.9%)为女性,406例(58.1%)为男性。男性和女性的艾滋病毒血清流行率分别为0.3%和0.4%。
在世界卫生组织全球消除艾滋病毒目标的范围内,索马里需要有效的国家和国际举措。
