RESUMEN
@#HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is an increasing concern in the South Pacific. We estimate, based on reported figures, that the prevalence of HIV infection in women attending antenatal clinics in Fiji in 2003 was 0.04%. The number of children born to HIV-positive mothers is small, though perinatal transmission appears to be high. Fiji's preliminary strategies for prevention of perinatal transmission have been significant, but require ongoing support and implementation.
