Abstract

Human infection with immunodeficiency virus (HIV) results after percutaneous introduction of infected material, usually blood or body fluids. HIV is largely transmitted by sexual intercourse: it is generally thought to occur through minute cracks and fissures in the skin exposed to the infected materials.

Infection with this virus is particularly relevant to obstetric, gynaecologic and paediatric practice
