HIV prevalence is
consistently over 1%
among pregnant women
Although sub-populations
at high risk may continue to
contribute
disproportionately to the
spread of HIV, sexual
networking in the general
population is sufficient to
sustain an epidemic
independent of sub-
populations at higher risk
for infection.
The Ghana Situation:
Ghana Has a Generalised Epidemic

National HIV Prevalence
The annual HIV sentinel surveys (HSS) is conducted on antenatal women and from STI clinics
GDHS included testing for HIV prevalence measurement for both males and females.
The availability of both HSS and DHS+ data allows for the derivation of the National HIV Prevalence and projections of the potential impact of the epidemic
The production of the National Estimates and Projections 2011 - 2015 was done using data from HSS (1994 to 2011) and the 2003 DHS+ and 2008 DHS.

The consistent increase in prevalence in the Adabraka site in contrast with the Kumasi site ought to be carefully examined

Summary
National HIV prevalence in 2011 same as 2010 despite marginal rise in ANC prevalence.
The HIV prevalence trend in Ghana since 2000 shows a decline but with lesser momentum
Central Region topped in both HIV and Syphilis prevalence but that should not shift our focus off other regions at all
The significant reductions in Syphilis prevalence must motivate us to strengthen current interventions

WAY FORWARD
Data must be carefully analysed for
planning and decision making by all
stakeholders
More effort and resources should be
channelled into priority areas and
initiatives that are yielding results
PMTCT service data to be used for
possible prevalence monitoring

CONCLUSION
Any complacency in Ghana’s response poses a threat to the country’s development
Need to strengthen the prevention component of the comprehensive package in the continuum of care and the national response
Need to focus on EMTCT to ensure a generation free of HIV by 2015
A comprehensive and truly integrated national response at all levels is essential for efficiency and sustainability.
