AB Between 1988 and 1992 three cross-sectional surveys for antibodies to
HIV were done in 644 Ethiopian patients with histologically proven
leprosy. Whereas the frequency of HIV-1 infection gradually increased
from 3.2% to 6.5%, the clinical presentation, number of new patients,
and frequency of relapse did not differ between HIV negative and
positive patients. Thus HIV appears unlikely to have a significant
impact on the incidence of leprosy in sub-Sahelian populations.
