AB OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of antibodies against HIV-2
vis-a-vis HIV-1 antibodies in different risk groups from western India.
METHODS: More than 1000 blood samples each of the risk groups viz.
patients attending STD clinics and female sex workers were collected
between 1989-92, principally from Bombay and Pune, but other cities of
western India were also represented. 63 sera from homosexuals from
Bombay and 84 professional blood donors from Surat were also tested.
RESULTS: Among the STD and female sex workers, the HIV-1 seropositivity
was 70 and 259 respectively; HIV-1 WB showed 62 and 241 positives.
HIV-1+2 ELISA showed 102 and 342 positives; by the line immunoassay 60
and 231 were positive for HIV-1 respectively; 2 and 23 sera were
positive for HIV-1+2; 5 and 22 sera were positive exclusively for HIV-2.
Of the 63 homosexuals 10 were positive by ELISA and WB, by the line
assay 8 were positive for HIV-1, and 2 were positive for HIV-2 and 2 for
HIV-1+2. Of the 85 professional donors from Surat, 60 were positive by
ELISA, and 54 were positive for HIV-1 by line immunoassay, 2 were
positive for HIV-1+2. DISCUSSION: HIV-1 has been increasing relentlessly
in high risk groups, now HIV-2 is also found in a substantial
proportions in different risk groups in different cities of western
India. A substantial proportion are dually reactive. It seems that HIV-2
positivity is making in roads from the ports to the inland places. The
situation in professional donors is alarming in Surat.
