Abstract
HIV infection prevalence and CD4/CD8 ratio alterations in asymptomatic heroin abusers. Authors evaluated HIV infection prevalence and presence of possible CD4/CD8 ratio alteration in a asymptomatic heroin abusers' sample. Drug addicts consecutively arrived to Local Health Unit No 12-Drug Addicts Advisory Unit. In this sample, there was a 41% prevalence of HIV infection and significant changes, not attributable to HIV infection, in the CD4/CD8 ratio were not found by comparison with 17 healthy controls.
