Burkina Faso faces a generalized
epidemic. The first case of HIV/AIDS was reported
in 1986. At the end of 2003, an estimated 300 000
adults and children were living with HIV/AIDS
in Burkina Faso. About 75% of these people are 15–40
years old. In 2002, the median HIV prevalence among
women attending antenatal care clinics at five surveillance
sites was
estimated to be 4.2%. The Demographic and Health
Survey in 2003 reported overall prevalence of 1.8%,
with higher rates in urban (3.1%) than in rural
(1.0%) areas. There were more
infected women (3.4%) than men (2.7%). An estimated
29 000 adults and children died from AIDS during
