ABSTRACT
In a pilot study, 463 leprosy patients (374 males and 89 females) were investigated for HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies by screening tests. Sera positive by the screening tests were subjected to confirmatory tests. Three cases were confirmed to be positive for HIV, two for HIV-1 and one for HIV-2. All the three positive cases were young males, who had visited commercial sex workers. No correlation was found between the type of leprosy and HIV infection. This is the first report of HIV infection amongst leprosy patients from South India.
