Article Synopsis
- HIV is a major public health concern, especially among pregnant women, indicating significant social and economic challenges, including neonatal mortality and increased orphanhood.
- A study of 1,168 pregnant women in Harare found a 30.4% HIV prevalence rate, with the highest rates among women aged 20-29 (35%) and single women (more likely to test positive).
- Factors such as previous condom use, intravaginal herb application, and history of genital issues were significantly linked to a higher risk of HIV infection.
