Abstract: The article deals with the results of an anonymous testing of HIV infections in Yugoslavia. The presence of anti-HIV-antibodies was examined in the blood of pregnant patients, randomly selected, in a Ward where about 3000 artificial abortions were carried out in the first trimester of pregnancy in a six-month period. On the basis of the obtained results one patient of 177 tested women was infected by HIV virus. At the same time, it can be presumed that among 3000 pregnancies there were many anti-HIV positive persons. It should be emphasized that the staff was not aware of HIV infection in one patient, and that in Yugoslav epidemiological conditions a HIV infected person could unexpectedly be detected without preliminary findings and data.
