AB From 1987 to 1991 563 couples were recruited from 9 countries in a
cross-section study. 378 HIV(-) partners recruited in settings adapted
for follow-up sectional study. 378 HIV(-) partners recruited in settings
adapted for follow-up were included in the prospective study. At each
interview partners were tested, interviewed and counselled. Only
partners presenting no risk factors for HIV infection other than sexual
contacts with the index (HIV+ partner) were included. The follow-up rate
was 80.4% (304/378). 245 couples still having sexual contacts 3 months
after inclusion were followed for a median of 22 months. 123 (50.2%)
couples used condoms for all vaginal or anal intercourse. No
serconversions occurred among these 123 partners. 12 seroconversions
occurred among the remaining 122 partners (5/100 person-years or 1.2 per
1000 unprotected contacts). Among irregular condom users seroconversion
rates (SR) were similar whatever the frequency of condom use and sex of
partner. SR were different (p-0.05) between partners reporting no STD
(9.5%); non-ulcerative STD (25%), and ulcerative STD (40%). Advanced
stage of infection for the index case (symptoms or T4 < 200) was also
linked with high SR.
