Abstract
Twenty regular sexual partners of HIVβ1 infected subjects, without detectable human irnmunodeficiency virus (HIVβ1) antibody and positive for HIVβ1 genome by in situ hybridization (ISH), were selected and studied longitudinally for 6β36 months to estimate the duration of silent infection. During the followβup period, 10 showed atypical Western Blot (WB) patterns. Two seronegative partners seroconverted. Rapid progress t o AIDS was observed in 7 seropositive subjects.

To assess the prevalence of HTLV-I and HTLV-II infections in different groups at risk for HIV-I infection, a study on 867 subjects was carried out by means of serological and PCR analyses. Serum specimens were collected from 268 intravenous drug users (IVDU), 66 homosexual men, 248 subjects with sex
