HIV/AIDS in Mali
Infection rates of HIV/AIDS in Mali are estimated to be under 2%, low in relation to some parts of Africa. Rates are higher among childbearing age women, and national education campaigns have targeted the general population since the late 1990s, as government and international organizations have been concerned that Malians may be vulnerable to the spread of the pandemic. However the low infection rates are most likely deceptive; the problem in attempting to estimate infection rates is that voluntary testing is rare. Women who give birth in a hospital are automatically tested, but others in the general population rarely present themselves for testing. Since 2002, the Supreme National Council for AIDS (HCNLS) has coordinated educational campaigns around sexual activity and condom use to stem
