Abstract: Serological screening for HIV infection revealed the presence of antibodies to HIV in 26 Soviet citizens and 200 foreigners from 33 countries. Among the Soviet citizens, the risk factors were homosexual relations with homosexual partners (3 men), homosexual and heterosexual relations with partners found to be HIV carriers (5 men and 7 women respectively), as well as sexual relations with foreigners not examined for the presence of HIV infection (4 women); besides, 5 persons were infected as the result of the transfusion of donor blood containing antibodies to HIV and 1 child was born of a mother with antibodies to HIV.
