Series Information
The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the Antenatal Clinic (ANC) HIV sentinel seroprevalence survey to monitor the HIV and AIDS epidemic in countries of the world including the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The survey uses pregnant women attending antenatal clinics as proxy for the general population. Since inception in Nigeria in 1991, seven rounds of ANC HIV survey have been conducted with the 2008 wave making it the eight in the series.
The 2008 ANC survey was guided by a survey management committee constituted by the Federal Ministry of Health. The members of the committee were drawn from the Federal and State Ministries of Health, NACA, Development Partners, Research Institutions and private individuals among others.

Abstract
This report highlights the findings from the 2008 HIV sentinel sero-prevalence survey among women 15-49 years attending antenatal clinics in Nigeria. The objectives of the survey were to determine HIV prevalence among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics, assess the trend in HIV prevalence and provide data for estimating and projecting the HIV epidemic in the general population. The survey was also designed to compare data obtained from PMTCT records with data obtained through ANC sentinel survey in the same sites. A Survey Management Committee (SMC) constituted by the Federal Ministry of Health under the chairmanship of the Director of Public Health coordinated the survey. Membership of this committee included the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), UN Agencies, bilateral agencies, academia and other stakeholders.
The data from the survey are used for advocacy, monitoring of the epidemic, programme planning and programme implementation. In addition to other data sources, the ANC survey has continued to contribute towards the realization of the second generation surveillance in Nigeria.
Goal
The goal of conducting this survey was to provide information about the current HIV prevalence and distribution in the country; it is aimed that the information would sensitize all stakeholders to take appropriate actions.
Specific Objectives
a. To determine the prevalence of HIV infection among women attending antenatal clinics in the 36 States and the Federal Capital erritory (FCT) in Nigeria.
b. To determine HIV prevalence by selected demographic characteristics and geographical locations.
c. To monitor trends of HIV prevalence among women attending antenatal clinics.
d. To provide general population estimates and projections of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and its impact in the country.
