AB The epidemiological surveillance of HIV/AIDS has been applied in the CR
since 1985. At that time, only homo/bisexual men were found to be
affected by this infection. The first case of heterosexual transmission
was diagnosed in 1987 in a couple were the woman had been infected via
contaminated blood and infected her husband by unprotected sexual
intercourse. In the 5 years period, between 1988-92, altogether 9 cases
of heterosexual transmission have been reported. In 1993 solely, 9 other
cases of heterosexual transmission of HIV have been found. Altogether,
heterosexual transmission has been proved in 15 women and 4 men infected
by HIV. None of the heterosexually infected cases has been linked to a
sexual contact with a drug addict which might be explained by the fact
that so far only 3 cases of HIV infection among drug users were detected
in the CR. The percentage of heterosexually acquired HIV infections
increased from 2% (1987) to 11.2% (in 1993). Further spread of HIV
infection in the country via heterosexual transmission may be expected.
