To establish whether HIV seroprevalence in Bujumbura is stable or continuing to increase.
HIV seroprevalence data among pregnant women from 1986 were compared with comparable data from 1991-1992.
HIV seroprevalence among antenatal clinic attendees at three sites was 10.5, 28.0 and 11.9% in 1986, compared with 7.7, 25.6 and 12.4%, respectively, in 1991-1992. A weighted least squares analysis showed significant differences in HIV seroprevalence between the different sites (chi 2, 71.71; P > 0.0001), but no evidence of any differences between the 1986 and the 1991-1992 prevalence levels (chi 2, 0.51; P = 0.6).
Bujumbura appears to be in the endemic phase of the spread of HIV. The stable geographic variation among clinic populations in Bujumbura suggests the need for focused interventions, and a general need for surveillance data to be gathered from numerous sites so to identify those with the highest incidence of HIV infection.
确定布琼布拉的艾滋病毒血清流行率是稳定还是持续上升。
将1986年孕妇中的艾滋病毒血清流行率数据与1991 - 1992年的可比数据进行比较。
1986年,三个地点产前诊所就诊者中的艾滋病毒血清流行率分别为10.5%、28.0%和11.9%,而1991 - 1992年分别为7.7%、25.6%和12.4%。加权最小二乘法分析显示不同地点之间艾滋病毒血清流行率存在显著差异(卡方值为71.71;P > 0.0001),但没有证据表明1986年和1991 - 1992年流行率水平之间存在任何差异(卡方值为0.51;P = 0.6)。
布琼布拉似乎处于艾滋病毒传播的流行阶段。布琼布拉诊所人群中稳定的地理差异表明需要有针对性的干预措施,并且普遍需要从多个地点收集监测数据,以便识别艾滋病毒感染发生率最高的人群。
