**5. Conclusions**

There was an observed statistically significant reduced risk of HIV with ageing process in this secondary analysis. None of the studied women seroconverted against HIV during our follow-up period. Point prevalence of HIV among total hysterectomised women was higher than otherwise reported in the Tanzania's general population. Patients reported to be married had a statistically significant higher chance of being HIV-seropositive than others in this study population.
