Basing on routine laboratory diagnosis of serum antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) in the years 1985 and 1986, the monthly detection rate of infection amounts to 50 persons on an average in the region of Frankfurt/FRG. The relation of female to male persons changed from 1:7 to 1:3 during one year. This might be influenced by a screening programme performed with female prostitutes who are found seropositive in about 2.5%. In December 1986, the first case of an HIV-2 infection was recorded. The clinical examination of HIV-infected patients admitted to the City Hospital of Offenbach/FRG revealed striking signs in about 35-40%, of AIDS in 6%. The infected persons belong to risk groups. No positive result was seen in pregnant women (n = 1100), medical staff (n = 405) and patients requiring renal transplants (n = 115) who do not belong to the risk groups.

D006678	HIV	Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.

Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
