Abstract:
HIV/AIDS infection now is increasing and has not been stabilized yet. All 61 out of 61 provinces have HIV/AIDS infected persons. HIV/AIDS is spreading to low risk groups such as recruits and pregnant women. HIV incidence is dramatically increasing in pregnant women from three regions. Pregnant women with HIV infection are important source of transmission in community and should be controlled actively. Pregnant women should be screened for HIV infection and the Gyn-Obs facilities should have relevant instruments to avoid transmission
