Abstract:
We report on our experience with 47 HIV-positive women, died in the meantime. 32% stated, that they had never taken i.v. drugs. Their clinical pattern varies greatly. Psychosocial problems and infections, such as genital herpes and candidosis and others predominate. Long-term controls of 12 couples with HIV-negative male partner only showed one case of HIV-transmission. Since 1980 21 children were born by these patients, 7 of them are seropositive 2 years after birth, and one of them has meanwhile died of AIDS.
