We noticed that 39.9% of them who received the VC&T.112 sessions of GC took place with 11153 participants.17893 HIV tests have been proposed and the acceptance rate was 34.8%. Finally, 98 tests were positive (94 HIV1 and 4 HIV2). 367 of 1864 pregnant women have received VC&T for PMTCT and they received their test results (19.7%). But only 17 pregnant women have been detected HIV+ (4.6%) and transferred to the district hospital for ART treatment. 3453 patients have been diagnosed Symptomatic HIV patient. Among them, 2252 patients (65%) have been put under cotrimoxazole prophylaxis and 84% of them have been transferred to the HIV/AIDS care and treatment centres. Let notice that the ART treatment doesnt exist yet at Mafr rural hospital. The prevalence of STD was 2120 with a ratio of 3M/1W and the recovery rate was 89%. | ||||
| Discussion: This study, which describes 4 years of experiences in STD/HIV/AIDS of an Ivorian Southeast small hospital, reveals deficiencies in the intervention capacities in favour of PLWHA, in rural areas. An effective decentralization of the care and treatment of PLWHA is absolutely necessary. | ||||
