This report presents survey findings on HIV prevalence in Haiti and other related results, including knowledge of HIV/AIDS, attitudes toward people living with HIV, and sexual behavior. HIV prevalence is also discussed. The results show that 2.2 percent of adults age 15-49 are HIV positive. The seroprevalence rate among women 15-49 is estimated at 2.3 percent, compared to 2.0 percent among men age 15-49. However, HIV prevalence among men 50-59 is 3.1 percent, which brings the total prevalence of men 15-59 to 2.1 percent.
Based on these prevalence rates, an estimated 103,669 adults in Haiti are HIV positive— 54,475 women age 15-49 and 49,194 men age 15-59, by the end of 2005.
