Abstract
We examined the risk factors for heterosexual transmission of HIV in a case-control study of couples in Thailand. 90 HIV-positive men and their regular sex partners were enrolled at the immune clinic, Chulalongkorn Hospital, where 92% of male index cases had HIV-1 serotype A (subtype E). Most index cases had acquired HIV through sexual intercourse. 95 couples were enrolled at 15 detoxification clinics, where 79% of them had HIV-1 serotype B (subtype B). Most men had acquired HIV through injecting drug use (IDU).Entities:
