摘要
During the period 1996-1999, the prevalence of HIV-1 increased among pregnant women living in the rural areas of the Gulu district (North Uganda). This trend could be partly explained by the violent recrudescence of civil strife since 1996, which caused a dramatic reduction in activities of health education and a massive population displacement to protected camps. Screening and services for the prevention and control of HIV-1 should be promoted among displaced people.
