A serosurvey of 1,233 pregnant women aged 15-41 years, and attending antenatal clinics in Maiduguri, Nigeria from July 1991 to February 1993 showed that 28 (2.3%) of the women were positive for HIV antibodies. Twenty-four (1.9%) were positive for HIV-1 only, 1 (0.08%) was positive for HIV-2 only and 3 (0.24%) were reactive for both HIV-1 and HIV-2. The overall seroprevalence rose gradually from 2.1% in 1991 to 2.3% in 1992, and to 2.6% so far in 1993. From July 1992 to February 1993 6 children aged 24 hours to 8 months were found HIV-positive in the same hospital where this survey was carried out. The only known risk factor for HIV infection applicable to the pregnant women studied was heterosexual intercourse.
1991年7月至1993年2月期间，对尼日利亚迈杜古里1233名年龄在15至41岁、前往产前诊所就诊的孕妇进行的血清学调查显示，28名（2.3%）妇女的HIV抗体呈阳性。24名（1.9%）仅HIV-1呈阳性，1名（0.08%）仅HIV-2呈阳性，3名（0.24%）HIV-1和HIV-2均呈反应性。总体血清阳性率从1991年的2.1%逐渐上升至1992年的2.3%，到1993年目前为止升至2.6%。在进行此次调查的同一家医院，1992年7月至1993年2月期间发现6名年龄在24小时至8个月的儿童HIV呈阳性。在所研究的孕妇中，唯一已知的HIV感染风险因素是异性性行为。
