 AB    Between 1988 and 1992 three cross-sectional surveys for antibodies to
       HIV were done in 644 Ethiopian patients with histologically proven
       leprosy. Whereas the frequency of HIV-1 infection gradually increased
       from 3.2% to 6.5%, the clinical presentation, number of new patients,
       and frequency of relapse did not differ between HIV negative and
       positive patients. Thus HIV appears unlikely to have a significant
       impact on the incidence of leprosy in sub-Sahelian populations.
