Abstract:

The 2005 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) included HIV testing of over 10,000 women and men. The 2005 EDHS shows that 1.4 percent of Ethiopians age 15-49 are HIV positive. HIV prevalence is higher among women than men overall, and significantly higher in urban areas. Both male and female urban residents have higher rates of HIV infection than their rural counterparts. For the most part, HIV infection rises with age until age 35-39 for women and age 40-44 for men. With the exception of women age 30-34, HIV prevalence is higher among women than men in all age groups. The risk of HIV infection increases with higher levels of education. This relationship is especially true among women. Women with a secondary school education are more than five times as likely to have HIV as women with no education. (excerpt)
