To strengthen their response to the epidemic, the 46 countries in the WHO African Region need detailed information on the burden and trends of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STI) and sexual behaviors. Information in the region is improving as a result of the effort made by countries in implementing HIV sentinel surveillance systems. Many countries have improved and expanded their antenatal care clinic based surveillance systems and by mid 2003, HIV prevalence had been reported for over 600 sentinel antenatal care clinics attended by more than 200, 000 women in 2002. More importantly, for most countries it is now possible to assess recent trends in HIV prevalence in sentinel antenatal care clinics.
