Female
to male transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1: risk
factors for seroconversion in men.

To determine the frequency and risk factors for female to male
sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1),
a prospective study was carried out in 422 men who had acquired
a sexually transmitted disease (STD) from a group of prostitutes
with a prevalence of HIV-1 infection of 85%. The initial seroprevalence
of HIV among the men was 12%. 24 of 293 (8.2%) initially seronegative
men seroconverted to HIV-1. Newly acquired infection was independently
associated with frequent prostitute contact (risk ratio 3.2, 95%
confidence interval 1.2-8.1), with the acquisition of genital ulcer
disease (risk ratio 4.7, 95% confidence interval 1.3-17.0), and
with being uncircumcised (risk ratio 8.2, 95% confidence interval
3.0-23.0). 96% of documented seroconversions occurred in men with
one or both of the latter two risk factors. In a subgroup of 73
seronegative men who reported a single prostitute sexual contact,
the frequency of HIV-1 infection was 8.2% during 12 weeks of observation.
No man without a genital ulcer seroconverted. A cumulative 43% of
uncircumcised men who acquired an ulcer seroconverted to HIV-1 after
a single sexual exposure. These data indicate an extremely high
rate of female to male transmission of HIV-1 in the presence of
STD and confirm a causal relation between lack of male circumcision,
genital ulcer disease, and susceptibility to HIV-1 infection.
