title: [Epidemiology of infections caused by human immunodeficiency viruses HIV-1 and HIV-2 in the Ivory Coast].
abstract: A study of antibodies to HIV1 and HIV2 has been performed among selected groups in Ivory Coast from January to December 1987. In total, 2,578 serum samples were examined. A seropositivity to HIV1 and/or HIV2 was observed in 32 (2.4%) of 1.334 healthy subjects of the general population from 5 different areas, 9 (3.6%) of 246 pregnant women, 58 (12.3%) of 471 blood donors, 72 (34.3%) of 210 female prostitutes, 23 (35.3%) of 65 patients with sexual transmitted diseases, 21 (35.6%) patients with chronic renal insufficiency and 98 (50.7%) patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis. Among the 313 HIV antibodies carriers, the frequency of HIV1 infection (6.7%) was higher than HIV2 infection (2%). However, 3.4% had a double seropositivity HIV1 and HIV2.
