 AB    One hundred and seventy AIDS cases and 547 HIV-1 antibody positive
       reports of infection in persons who are presumed to have become infected
       by sexual intercourse between men and women abroad are reviewed. Eighty
       three percent of people with AIDS and 99% of HIV-1 infected persons were
       reported to have been exposed in countries where heterosexual spread of
       HIV infection is well documented (i.e. WHO patterns II or I/II - see
       below). African countries were commonly cited. The group that had been
       exposed heterosexually in pattern II or I/II countries was young, and
       males slightly outnumbered females. Persons who are presumed to have
       become infected with HIV-1 through heterosexual contact abroad make up a
       heterogeneous group of travellers which includes holiday makers,
       business persons, students, refugees and immigrants. Research is needed
       to identify travellers whose high risk behaviour makes them vulnerable
       to HIV-1 infection, and to develop effective health education measures
       for them.
