 AB    Calculation of risk-group-specific rates of HIV infection in the adult
       population of Israel results in the identification of four groups
       comprising, in total, less than 2% of the population, each of which
       carries a relative risk of infection of 500 or more. An estimated 90% of
       infections to date have occurred in these four groups. Rather than
       dissipate HIV prevention efforts over the entire population, 98% of whom
       are at zero or near-zero risk of infection, efforts to prevent HIV
       transmission should concentrate on the groups whose relative risk is
       enormously high and in whom there is the greatest potential for
       preventing further transmission.
