title: [Human immunodeficiency virus infection in the Spanish population. Review of the literature].
abstract: The epidemiological aspects of the infection by the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, in the Spanish population as described in the literature are reviewed. From the published studies is evident that HIV infection is limited to the population risk groups established in the epidemiological world reports, heroin addicts, homosexuals, heterosexuals with sexual contacts with infected persons and blood and hemoderivates receptors. The observed frequencies in these risk groups are similar to that described in other countries.
