AB In Italy the diffusion of HIV infection is particularly sustained by
drug-abusers (DA) (66.1% of the total AIDS cases). The aim of this study
is to evaluate the annual trend in HIV-test applications in the period
from 1985 to 1993 of 13,272 subjects who underwent the test because they
were DA and to evaluate the percentage of seropositive DAs subdivided
according to sex. The results are reported in the table below. TABULAR
DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. The results show a decrease in HIV-test
applications in DAs. For the percentage of seropositivity, there is a
significant decrease in men (from 48.9% in 1985 to 20.2% in 1993) whilst
in women there is an alternating trend (60% in '85, 47.5% in '90, 20.2%
in '93). Further observations will be necessary in order to confirm this
last finding.
