“…Similarly studies done by Giri et al, (2012) and Patil et al, (2016) at Maharashtra observed the prevalence of HIV as 0.41% and 0.44% respectively. While a study by Gupta et al, (2007) done in North India revealed that the prevalence of HIV was found to be 0.88%.…”

“…Among HIV-positive pregnant women in the present study, majority, 22 (61.11%), were primigravida while 14 (38.89%) were multigravida. A study done by Patil et al, (2016) also revealed that, out of 309 HIV positive pregnant women studied, majority 166 (53.83%) were primigravida and 143(46.2%) were multigravida. These findings are also consistence with study by Verma et al, (2002) and Dash et al, (2012).…”

“…While study by Patil et al, (2016) observed that education status of 36.3% of HIV positive women was up to secondary level, 31.3% had primary education only and 21.7% were illiterate out of 309 ANC women. In comparison to our study, more number of illiterate clients might be due to, that study area belongs to rural area of Maharashtra.…”

“…16 According to present study majority of the women were multigravida and studied up to primary or secondary in contrast to study done by Dash et al and Patil et al where most of the women were primigravida and was either illiterate or studied up to primarylevel. 15,17 In this study, multigravida were found to be more infected as they were more exposed to infection. Whereas Perry et al state that there is no significant difference between seropositive and seronegative women regarding socioeconomic status, residence and religion.…”

“…8 In comparison to other studies of Uttar Pradesh; higher seroprevalence of 0.4% were observed by Mehrotra et 16,20,22 In study done by Gupta et al in AIIMS Delhi, India, prevalence was found to be 0.88%. 21 Studies from south India by Giri 7,15,17,22,27,30 Analyzing the reason for this difference between our results and NACO data, could be different surveillance system. Present study is hospital based survey for past 11 years while NACO uses sentinel surveillance system and being a tertiary centre, most of seropositive HIV women are referred from several centers, so higher number of seropositive antenatal women are attended in our hospital.…”

Background: Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is spreading worldwide at an alarming rate and India has third largest number of estimated people living with HIV/AIDS in the world. Estimating the HIV seroprevalence in a low risk population such as pregnant women provide essential information for monitoring trend of HIV in general population and assist in prevention from mother to child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV infection. Only few studies are available from this part of northern India. So we carried out this study to find out seroprevalence of HIV in pregnant women at tertiary care hospital of Uttar Pradesh, India.Methods: Blood samples were collected from pregnant women attending antenatal clinic of GSVM Medical college, Kanpur, U.P, India. after pretest counseling and inform consent from September 2005 to July 2016. The samples are tested as per National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) guidelines.Results: Among 38794 pregnant women counseled, 34924(90.02%) accepted HIV testing. 102 women out of 34924 were found HIV seropositive with prevalence rate of 0.3%. Among seropositive women, majority were Hindu (88.2%), housewife (89.2%), multigravida (62.7%), studied up to primary or secondary (78.4%), of low socio-economic status (74.5%) and belongs to rural area (67.6%). Majority of HIV seropositive (34.3%) women were in age group of 25-30 years followed by 21-25years (25.4%). HIV seroprevalence rates showed an increasing trend from 0.14% in 2006 to 0.49% in 2016 (till July).Conclusions: Seroprevalence of HIV infection amongst antenatal women was 0.3%in past 11 years which is in increasing trend in contrast to other studies and slightly higher than national projection (0.29%). It concludes that it is right time to strengthen prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) services by joint efforts of the private and public sectors.

Background The burden of HIV is disproportionately higher among women of reproductive age contributing more than half of the global share. The situation in Ethiopia is not exceptional. The present study was done to determine the proportion of HIV among pregnant women in Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia. Method Institutions-based cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2020 to December 2020. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select 538 study participants from pregnant women who had ANC follow-up in Referral Hospitals of the Amhara Regional State. Data on socio-demographic, clinical, obstetric, behavioral as well as psychosocial characteristics were gathered using an interviewer administered structured and standardized instruments. The data was entered into Epi-Data Manager V4.6.0.0 and exported to STATA version 14 for data analyses. Descriptive statics were computed to summarize the participant’s characteristics. Bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the association between dependent and independent variables. Independent variables with a p-value of less than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant at 95% confidence level (CI). Results The proportion of HIV infection among pregnant women was 8.68% (95% CI: 6.5, 11.4). Completing secondary school education (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR = 0.15; 95% CI: 0.04—0.53), graduated from college (AOR = 0.03; 95% CI: 0.01—0.22), and family monthly income greater than 8001 ETB (1 USD = 56 ETB) (AOR = 0.19; 95% CI: 0.04—0.87) were protective factors associated with maternal HIV. On the other hand, history of previous abortion (AOR = 7.73; 95% CI: 3.33—17.95) and positive syphilis status (AOR = 10.28; 95% CI: 2.80—37.62) were risk factors associated with maternal HIV status. Conclusion The proportion of HIV infection among pregnant women was found to be high. Advanced level of education, relatively higher monthly income, history of abortion and previous syphilis status were associated factors with HIV status. Strengthening women's formal education; empowering women in all spheres of life (especially improving their economic standing that prevents women from engaging in risky sexual practices); educating women about HIV transmission methods and HIV prevention and control strategies using behavior change intervention strategy prepared for women to reduce their vulnerability; advocating for the use of family planning to reduce unsafe abortions and syphilis; as well as regular screening and testing for syphilis are recommended.
