| Popis: | A study of pregnant women attending the prenatal clinic of the Instituto Materno Infantil de Pernambuco in Recife Brazil found an unexpectedly low prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in this population. 20110 pregnant women were seen at this national reference center in 1993. Of the 1000 such women tested in July and August 1993 only one serum sample was reactive to both HIV-1 enzyme-linked immunosorbet assays and the confirmatory indirect immunofluorescence assay yielding an HIV-1 seroprevalence rate of 0.1% (95% confidence interval 0-0.3). Currently underway is a seroprevalence survey of nonpregnant heterosexual women in Recife. By the end of 1993 Pernambuco State had registered 1131 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases including 136 (12%) in women and 32 (2.8%) in children. |
