AB INTRODUCTION: Noticing an increasing number of HIV infected women in our
AIDS PROGRAMME, we have found it necessary to study clinical and
epidemiological behaviour in this group. METHODS: Medical records of 274
HIV+ women seen in our AIDS PROGRAMME, during 1985-1993 were reviewed.
RESULTS: Mean age was 35.4 years (SD = 11.7), 70.9% were white, 56.9%
had elementary school level. 56.1% had been infected by sexual
transmission, albeit 73.0% had no idea about their sexual partner risk
behaviour. 32 children had been infected by vertical transmission (one
mother had 2 children infected). 133 (50.2%) were still followed by the
AIDS PROGRAMME, 110 (41.5%) had died and 22 (8.3%) were lost from
follow-up. Most prevalent opportunistic infections were: Tuberculosis in
21.7%, P. carinii pneumonia in 19.4% and Esophagus candidiasis in 13.8%.
CONCLUSION: Clinical and epidemiological aspects of HIV infection are
already widely studied, though there are few studies focusing this
subject on third world women. We need prospective studies for better
establishing their clinical and epidemiological behaviour.
