 AB    There is little information regarding the extent of HIV infection among
       women. Since late 1985, members of the Army Reserve Components have been
       routinely tested for HIV, providing an opportunity to measure directly
       the prevalence and incidence density of infection in a
       military-associated population with limited military contact. We
       evaluated the prevalence among 122,195 women, and directly measured the
       incidence density among 96,001 women followed for 247,872 person-years.
       The overall prevalence was 0.65 (per 1000), and the incidence density
       was 0.12 (per 1000 person years follow-up). Several demographically
       defined groups, including minority women, had elevated levels of
       infection. The incidence densities of infection between early and late
       in the testing program were compared, and no evidence of acceleration or
       deceleration was observed.
