Namibia Country Report
The most recent ANC HIV surveillance found 19.9% of women attending ANC were HIV infected (MoHSS, 2007d). There was a rapid increase in ANC HIV prevalence from 4.2% in 1992 to 22% in 2002. The apparent decrease since 2002 represents the first decrease since the start of ANC surveillance (see Figure 2.1). However, it should be noted that HIV prevalence is still on the increase in some regions and in some age groups, meaning continued high levels of prevention, care and support services are needed.
