AB OBJECTIVE: To study the impact of heterosexual HIV transmission (HT) on
the AIDS epidemic in Almeria. Almeria is a small province in the South
of Spain with a population of 455,496 persons. METHODS: Risk information
of HIV-seropositive adults included in a cohort study from 1/86 to 12/93
was examined. RESULTS: Of 729 men with HIV infection, 84% were
heterosexual injecting drug users, 6.5% had sex with other men, 3.5%
were blood/factors receptors and 1% had no identified risk. Only 5.5% of
the men claimed HT transmission (0.7% in 1986-87, 2.6% in 1988-89, 5.7%
in 1990-91 and 15% in 1992-93). 51% of the men reported HT from
prostitutes, 30% had sexual relations with HIV-infected women and 19%
had multiple sex partners with HIV-risk unknown. Of 242 women with HIV
infection, 64% were heterosexual injecting drug users, 3% were
blood/factors receptors and 1% had no identified risk. 33% of the women
claimed heterosexual transmission (16% in 1986-87, 26% in 1988-89, 41%
in 1990-91 and 50% in 1992-93). 67% of the women reported HIV-infected
sex partners, 8% reported commercial sex and 24% had multiple sex
partners with HIV-risk unknown. CONCLUSIONS: In the South of Spain, HT
is responsible for at least 33% of the AIDS epidemic in women, and the
number of the HT cases is increasing very quickly. Only 5.5% of the men
claimed HT. Sex relations with HIV-infected partners in women and sex
relations with prostitutes in men are the most important HIV-risk for HT
in this area.
