Abstract

Forty HIV-positive women living with HIV-infected sexual partner as well as 40 HIV-positive women from discordant pairs (HIV-positive wife and HIV-negative husband) were surveyed. Less than half of HIV-infected patients (40%) specified the use of condoms for sexual contacts. In the group of women living with HIV-infected partner more expressed immunosupression (CD4 count 427 cells/mcl versus 528 cells/mcl) was observed. Statistically significant increased viral load in the 1st group compared with the women from discordant pairs was revealed.
