Sixteen asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) antibody-positive female blood donors were examined for sexually transmitted diseases by lower genital tract microbiological tests and colposcopy. Two donors had generalised lymphadenopathy, and in 13 (81.2%) human papillomavirus was detected on histological examination. In 5 (31.2%) Neisseria gonorrhoeae was cultured. Sexually transmitted pathogens were found in all but 3 subjects and multiple agents were detected in 9. The high prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases coupled with the generally poor response to counselling has a frightening potential for spread of HIV locally.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
