title: [The factors and cofactors affecting the heterosexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection].
abstract: HIV-infected women and men as well as their sexual partners were examined with the purpose of detecting the factors and cofactors facilitating the risk of HIV transmission in heterosexual contacts. Among HIV-infected women were predominant those who led promiscuous sex life, practicing sex life during menstruation, those with traumatic sex, with cervical erosion in the anamnesis, and women whose sexual partners showed signs of marked immunodeficiency. Cervical erosion in women with heterosexual contacts is the leading factor increasing the risk of infection transmission from women to man and vice versa.
