AB In a HIV seroprevalence study carried out in an IDU community comprised
by 199 individuals from the city of Santos, Sao Paulo--Brazil, we
analyzed the gender-related transmission patterns. This was done by
comparing, in addition to HIV, the seroprevalence of hepatitis C and
syphilis. The table shows the seroprevalence results (CI = 95%): TABULAR
DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. It can be noted from the table that there is
no statistically significant differences in HIV and HCV seroprevalence
between males and females. On the other hand, there is a significantly
higher prevalence of syphilis in females. These results points to a
predominantly parenteral route of transmission of HIV in this
population, although the sexual component can not be neglected. The
results also suggest that women from this population have a higher
exposure rate to STDs probably due to different patterns of sexual
behavior.
