AB HIV-1 antibody patterns in two groups, those infected by the intravenous
route (IV drug users) and those infected by the sexual route
(prostitutes, male homosexuals and sexually transmitted disease
patients) were compared using the Western blot technique. A total of 160
cases were studied. The intravenous drug user (IVDU) group appeared to
respond to fewer antibody markers than the sexually infected group, the
difference being significant for markers p31, p51, p55, p66, gp41 and
gp120. Furthermore, a higher proportion (63%) of the sexually infected
group carried antibodies to all Western blot markers as compared to the
IVDU group (49%).
