Abstract
Shortly after the first reports on the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the United States, it became clear that the disease was also particularly frequent in Haitians living in North America (Pitcheniket at., 1983; Curranet al., 1985) and in Africans seen in Europe for medical care (Katlamaet al., 1984; Clumecket al., 1984). Subsequently, surveys in Haiti and in Central Africa confirmed the occurrence of epidemic foci of AIDS in these areas (Papeet al., 1983; Malebrancheet al., 1983; Piotet al., 1984; Van de Perreet al., 1984).
