In Africa, a large proportion of HIV infections occur within stable relationships, either because of prior infection of one of the partners or because of infidelity. In five African countries at least two-thirds of couples with at least one HIV-positive partner were HIV serodiscordant; in half of them, the woman was the HIV-positive partner. Hence, there is an urgent need to define strategies to prevent HIV transmission within couple relationships. HIV counselling and testing have largely been organised on an individual and sex-specific basis, for pregnant women in programmes for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and in STI consultations and recently male circumcision for men. A couple-centred approach to HIV counselling and testing would facilitate communication about HIV status and adoption of preventive behaviours within couples. This paper reviews what is known about HIV serodiscordance in heterosexual couples in sub-Saharan Africa and what has been published about couple-centred initiatives for HIV counselling and testing since the early 1990s. Despite positive outcomes, couple-oriented programmes have not been implemented on a large scale. In order to stimulate and strengthen HIV prevention efforts, increased attention is required to promote prevention and testing and counselling for couples in stable relationships.RésuméEn Afrique, une forte proportion d’infections à VIH se produit dans des relations stables, soit en raison d’une infection antérieure ou de l’infidélité de l’un des partenaires. Dans cinq pays africains, au moins les deux tiers des couples dont un des partenaires au moins est séropositif étaient sérodiscordants ; dans la moitié, c’était la femme qui était porteuse du virus. Il est donc urgent de définir des stratégies pour lutter contre la transmission du VIH dans les couples. En général, le conseil et le dépistage du VIH ont été organisés individuellement et selon les sexes, pour les femmes enceintes dans des programmes de prévention de la transmission mère-enfant du VIH, dans des consultations d’IST et récemment à l’occasion de la circoncision pour les hommes. Centrer le conseil et le dépistage du VIH sur le couple faciliterait la communication sur le statut sérologique et l’adoption de comportements préventifs. Cet article examine les connaissances sur la sérodiscordance dans les couples hétérosexuels en Afrique subsaharienne et les publications sur les initiatives de conseil et de dépistage du virus axées sur le couple depuis le début des années 90. En dépit de résultats positifs, les programmes destinés aux couples n’ont pas été appliqués à une grande échelle. Afin de stimuler et de renforcer les activités de prévention du VIH, il faut s’employer davantage à promouvoir la prévention ainsi que le dépistage et le conseil pour les couples stables.ResumenEn Ãfrica, una gran proporción de infecciones por VIH ocurren en relaciones estables, ya sea por infección anterior de una de las parejas o por infidelidad. En cinco países africanos, por lo menos dos terceras partes de las parejas con uno o dos miembros VIH-positivos, eran VIH serodiscordantes; en la mitad, la mujer era VIH-positiva. Por tanto, existe una necesidad urgente de definir estrategias para evitar la transmisión del VIH entre parejas. La consejería y pruebas de VIH han sido organizadas de manera individual y específica al sexo, para mujeres embarazadas en programas para la prevención de la transmisión materno-infantil del VIH, en consultas sobre las ITS y, recientemente, durante la circuncisión masculina. Un enfoque centrado en la pareja facilitaría la comunicación sobre el estado del VIH y la adopción de comportamientos preventivos. En este artículo se revisan los conocimientos de la serodiscordancia de VIH en parejas heterosexuales de Ãfrica subsahariana y publicaciones sobre las iniciativas de consejería y pruebas de VIH centradas en parejas desde principios de la década de los noventa. Pese a resultados positivos, no se han implementados programas en gran escala. A fin de estimular y fortalecer los esfuerzos para la prevención del VIH, es imperativo prestar más atención para promover la prevención, consejería y pruebas del VIH en parejas en relaciones estables
