title: [The dynamics of the course of HIV infection in patients with concomitant sexually transmitted disease morbidity and viral hepatitides detected in Saint Petersburg in 1997-1998].
abstract: During the recent 2 years growth in the number of cases of HIV infection, exceeding 1.2-fold the number of cases detected during the preceding 9 years, was registered in St. Petersburg. In the structure of patients with detected HIV infection injecting drug users prevailed. Among 124 patients with detected HIV infection 28.2% and 46.8% had, respectively, concomitant sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and virus hepatitides (VH). Due to preventive and antiepidemic measures the STD and VH morbidity decreased in all groups of HIV-infected patients under study.
