Women wait for the consultation at the HIV/AIDS treatment ward operating under MSF-France in Carnot Hospital, Carnot, Central African Republic. According to Dr. Wilfried Mbolissa, specialist of HIV/AIDS for MSF-France, 75% of the patients are women who come either for prenatal tests or general consultations after getting infected. Most of the infected cases are sexually transmitted from their husbands who leave home for diamond or gold mines; or lack of use of condoms. Some children also come to the services who were infected by their mothers when they were pregnant.
