    Abstract:
    A study of several sexually transmitted diseases (STD) (HIV1, HIV2, hepatitis B and syphilis) was performed among high school students and hospitalized patients in Bozoum, a rural town in the Central African Republic (CAR). The rate of injection for each disease (HBs + : 20.9%, TPHA + : 13.5%, HIV1: 7.3% and HIV2 + : 0%) are similar to the figures obtained in Bangui. The STD's, such as syphilis and hepatitis B, as well as HIV infection, are well established among the population studied. HIV infection in the CAR is no longer limited to Bangui but has filtered out to certain rural centers.
