[HTLV-III antibodies and risk factors for healthy homosexuals in Zurich].
Sera of 100 healthy homosexual men were tested for antibodies to AIDS virus HTLV-III. Significant differences were found between 45 seropositive and 55 seronegative men, such as a higher number of sexual partners per year, more contacts with AIDS patients, positive serological markers for syphilis, and reduced skin reaction after intradermal application of 7 recall antigens.
