ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A seroepidemiological survey in the Mara Region of Tanzania investigated a randomly selected population between the ages of 15 and 49 in rural and urban areas; as well as a group including high-risk individuals. Reports on 1272 individuals confirm HIV-1 seropositivity in the rural area at under 3 percent; HLTV-1 is present. Preliminary results in the other two groups suggest a higher seroprevelance
