ABSTRACT

The number of HIV studies available in Cameroon are wide and varied. The analysis of the HIV seroprevalence data in Cameroon shows that HIV rates are increasing in the surveyed groups as well as in general population. Cameroon it can not be consider any more as HIV low prevalence country. Given the scarce resources and the variety of studies performed a point for reflexion is needed to conduct future epidemiological studies. Priorities need to be done; standard methods need to be established and integration within the health information system is advisable

ABSTRACT

The authors reviewed the studies on knowledge; attitudes; beliefs and practices regarding AIDS and HIV infection in Cameroon. Overall there is a clear increase on knowledge about AIDS among the different groups surveyed although misconceptions are still present which can lead to wrong attitudes towards infected people. The surveys undertaken to date have generally focused on knowledge and practices. More in depth qualitative data is necessary to understand sexual behavior. Behavior research should be linked to interventions to limit the increase of HIV infection
