  abstract = {{T}o determine current data on {HIV} infection and to further confirm the presence of {HIV}-1 group {O} infection in {N}igeria, 2300 samples from five states were tested for the presence of {HIV} antibody. {A} convenience sampling was obtained from pregnant women, tuberculosis ({TB}) patients, commercial sex workers ({CSW}s), blood donors, patients with sexually transmitted diseases ({STD}s), patients with skin diseases, male clients of {CSW}s, outpatients suspected bo have {AIDS}, truck drivers, and community dwellers. {W}ith the exception of pregnant women, the {HIV} prevalences in all these groups were high : 60,6% in {CSW}s, 16,2% in {TB} patients, 7,7% in blood donors in some states, and 16% in the rural area of {K}ano {S}tate. {M}ale clients of {CSW}s, truck drivers, and {STD} patients had prevalences of 7,8%, 8,6% and 21,2%, respectively. {R}egional differences in relation to {HIV} prevalences were observed ; {HIV}-2 and most of the {HIV}-1/2 infections were found in the southern states of {N}igeria. {H}igher {HIV} prevalences were observed in the north-northeast in pregnant women, {TB} patients, and {CSW}s, but for blood donors, higher rates were seen in the southeast-southwest. {O}ne asymptomatic 50-year-old woman, a community dweller in {K}ano, was identified to be {HIV}-1 group {O}-positive. {C}ompared with data from national surveillance studies in 1991/1992 and 1993/1994, a substantial increase in {HIV} infection was observed. {O}ur results show a growing incidence of {HIV} infection in {N}igeria and suggest the presence of a rural {HIV} epidemic. {T}he identification of {HIV}-1 group {O} in {K}ano shows that this virus strain is geographically widespread in {N}igeria.
