Abstract:
A sero-epidemiological study was conducted from July to August 1988, in a haitian population living in rural area. Out of 116 serum samples searched for H1V1 antibodies and anti-HTLV1, 5.2% and 4.3% were reactive, respectively. Both positivity H1V1/HTLV1 was observed in one case. HBs Ag carriers were 13%. Analysis of seroreactive people in this population enhances the epidemiological trends of AIDS in Caribbean (rural spreading, heterosexual transmission, sex ratio levelling) which relate to african type AIDS.
