title: [Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in French Polynesia].
abstract: HIV case finding tests are performed since three years in French Polynesia. Ratio of seropositivity is 2.4/10,000 inhabitants. The 45 seropositive patients found in three years belong to groups at risk (homosexual males; multi-transfusion recipients; addicts). As far as donors are concerned, no seropositivity was actually observed through the 16,881 tests carried out in 30 months. Outbreak of HIV seems to be recent in Tahiti.
