Abstract

A sample of 21 AIDS patients were interviewed in the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona in order to assess their sexual behaviour. 12 were DAPV and 9 homosexual. The first sexual intercourse was before 16 years of age in 80% of the patients. 52% were highly promiscuous, an important factor in HVI infection. 57.1% referred anal coitus as a common sexual practice, most of them receptive (42.8%). Only 28.5% of the sample used preservatives, although not as a common practice. 38.9% never applied hygienic measures after sexual intercourse. This lack of preventive measures is extremely severe in IVDU patients, since sexual infection may occur in non-IVDU partners.
