[Heterosexual transmission of HIV infection].
HIV heterosexual transmission is very common in Africa and is overgrowing in western countries. Heterosexual transmission is facilitated by the severity of immunosuppression in contaminating patients, by previous STD, by anal intercourse and age over 45 years in females, by sexual intercourses during menses in males. Condoms prevention is effective.
