title: [Incidence of HIV infection among homosexuals].
abstract: In the period 1985-1988 blood samples were examined of 1297 homosexual and bisexual men. The samples were sent by health service units from the whole country. Anti-HIV antibodies were demonstrated by the EIA method and confirmed by the Western blot technique in the serum of 35 subjects (2.7%). In the second half of 1988 a rise was observed in the number of infections among the tested subjects (10.3%). In Poland similarly as in West Europe and the USA, homosexual and bisexual males are the group of high risk for HIV infection.
