Keywords:
Seroprevalence, HIV, PPTCTAbstract
Background: In the absence of any intervention transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) from a HIV positive mother to her child during pregnancy, labour, delivery or breast- feedingranges from 15%-45%. This rate can be reduced to below 5% with effective interventions1.Present study was carried out to know the seroprevalence of HIV infection over twelve years amongst antenatal women attending a tertiary care hospital in western India along with analysis of their demographic data.
Methods: After due permission from Institutional Review Board,studywas carried out by analyzing the data of antenatal women in whom HIV testing was done as per National AIDS Con- trol Organization (NACO) guidelines from 1/4/2004 to 31/03/2016.
Results: Overallseroprevalence of HIV infection amongst antenatal women was 0.31% and of 2014-2016 was 0.17%. Maximum number of women, 93(44.28%) were in age group of 25-29 years. Primigra- vida were 89(42.38%). Majority 165(78.57%) were from urban area.
Conclusion: Ours was a hospital-based study with limited sample size. The steady decline in seroprevalence of HIV could be attrib- uted to effective awareness-education programs by NACO as well as efforts by the medical-paramedical staff and counselors at our institute.
