AB Heterosexual transmission has incresed in several countries were pattern
I predominated until late 1980. In 1993, 46% of reported cases of HIV
infection in Colombia, corresponded to heterosexual transmision. The
annual incidence rate has increased from 0.6 per million in 1985 to 61.1
per million in 1993. Proportion male/female has changed from 55/1 in
1985 to 7/1 in 1993. In Colombia, these is still a lack of an adequate
case reporting and notification national network, although mandatory
notification has been legislated. A Sentinel surveillance study of HIV
infection amongst two population groups started in january 1994
conducted by the Ministry of Health AIDS Program. Attendants to STD and
prenatal care clinics, were the two selected study groups.
Anonimous--non linked testing us the chosen method for surveillance.
Based on WHO estimation for high-risk and low-risk groups
seroprevalence, a sample size of 450 for STD divise attendants and 1.900
for prenatal care clinics attendants were calculated between February
and November 1994 three samples for each study group and each selected
city will be collected. By August 1994 analysis of two samples in each
city will have been carried out.
