[The geography of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in black Africa: determination of epidemiological and regional factors].
In Africa, the continent most affected by HIV, the geography of the epidemic shows major contrasts. Strong regionalization differentiates both central-east Africa from west Africa and, within the countries, the urban zones from rural ones. Spatial and population factors are important when mapping the geography of the infection. An analysis of the evolution of movements--merchandise as well as populations--of the landlocked countries of the Great Lakes region of Africa leads the author to formulate a hypothesis involving regional considerations.
