 AB    Four cases of male-to-female transsexuals with HIV infection are
       described, showing that individuals with gender identity disorder are
       vulnerable to HIV infection through unsafe sexual behaviour and
       intravenous drug use. The various practical problems associated with
       carrying out major surgery on this group of individuals are discussed,
       as well as some of the ethical issues raised by their treatment needs.
