Acceptance of HIV-1 education & voluntary counselling/testing by & seroprevalence of HIV-1 among, pregnant women in rural south India.

Abstract

The acceptability of education and of VCT among antenatal clinic attendees in this study was encouraging. However, the relatively high seroprevalence highlights the spread of HIV-1 from high risk groups to the general population and emphasizes the need for primary prevention of HIV-1 infection among adolescent girls and women of reproductive age in India.
