- W138659124 abstract "During 4 year period between April 1990 and March 1994, 4120 specimens from the patients attending out patient departments of Medical, Surgical and Antenatal units of a major city hospital were tested for HIV infection as a part of an on-going sentinel surveillance programme. In addition, 1440 specimens from the patients attending STD clinic of the same hospital and 862 females seeking termination of pregnancy from a near by hospital were included for comparison. It was found that only 3 individuals with high risk behaviours out of 2002 females attending antenatal clinic showed evidence of HIV infection (rate 1.49 per 1000). The corresponding rate for the group of patients attending STD clinic and seeking termination of pregnancy were 3 out of 1440 (rate 2.15 per 1000) and 1 out of 862 (rate 1.16 per 1000) respectively. It was noted that prevalence of HIV infection in the hospital attending population with unspecified risk factor (medical, surgical and antenatal clinics) was not a matter of serious concern. The importance of finding out risk factors in females attending antenatal clinic is evident from the study.In India, the HIV infection rates of 4120 patients attending surgical, medical, and prenatal outpatient clinics of Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in New Delhi were compared with those of 1140 patients of the hospital's sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic and 862 women seeking medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) at a nearby hospital. The blood samples were collected during April 1990-March 1994. Only 3 (1.49/1000) of the 2002 women attending the prenatal clinic tested positive for HIV. These 3 women were also commercial sex workers and had a history of STDs. STD patients were more likely to have HIV infection than patients seeking MTP (2.15 vs. 1.16/1000). All HIV-positive STD patients were male. No patient attending the surgical or medical outpatient clinic tested positive for HIV. 6 of the 7 HIV-positive patients were in the 20-30 year age group. After recategorizing the 3 prenatal clinic clients as part of the STD group, the prenatal clinic population, like the medical and surgical outpatient groups, did not comprise a high-risk group. These findings suggest the need to evaluate risk factors of the prenatal clinic population as routine practice." @default.
