AB The increased number of subjects infected heterosexually has aroused
considerable interest in the type of sexual intercourse involved,
particularly anal, which is believed to be the one with the greatest
risk. 174 HIV+ subjects and their sex partners were observed at the
Institute of Infectious Diseases at the University of Rome La Sapienza.
Their sexual behaviour was analyzed subdividing the couples according to
whether transmission had occurred or not. The results are shown below in
the table: TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. The data indicate that the
practice of anal sex is that which determines the greatest risk in
heterosexual intercourse. Transmission occurred in 42% of couples who
had had anal intercourse vs 30% of those who had had only vaginal
intercourse. Analysis of condom use in relation to sexual practice shows
that irregular use in anal intercourse determines the transmission in
61% of cases against 37% of those who had had only unprotected vaginal
intercourse.
