Abstract:

This paper presents the HIV/AIDS profile in Liberia. It is noted that due to unstable political environment, there is little to no recent information on HIV in this country. Prevalence data from blood donors tested between 1992 and 1997 suggests that the epidemic was on the increase among this group. Among the facts included in this paper are the following: HIV seroprevalence for pregnant women in Monrovia, Liberia in 1992-93; HIV seroprevalence for blood donors in Monrovia, Liberia in 1992-93; HIV seroprevalence for blood donors in various sites in Liberia in 1994-97; and HIV seroprevalence for sexually transmitted disease patients in Monrovia, Liberia in 1993.
