 AB    A serological study aimed at measuring the distribution and extent of
       the HIV infection in the population was carried out from 1 October to 30
       November 1990 among 689 pregnant women seen during prenatal
       consultations in the Health Centers of the National Social Security
       Service. Serological tests according to ELISA method were used. They
       were anonymous and uncorrelated. Specific seroprevalence was found to be
       high among young women between 20 and 29 years (10.10%) and among
       nulliparous women. Some correlation was observed between the parity and
       the seropositivity; the seroprevalence was higher among nulliparous
       women (chi 2 = 52.4; ddl = 4; p < 0.001). The authors recommend the
       reinforcement of preventive measures and the establishment of
       counselling in Mother and Child Health Care Centers (MCH).
