 AB    The information available from public laboratories in Navarra (Spain) on
       tests for detecting anti-HIV antibodies enabled to find out the number
       of HIV seropositive subjects from 1985 to June 1992, as well as their
       demographic characteristics and risk habits. 1205 subjects were found to
       be HIV seropositive, out of a population of 512,512 inhabitants which
       means an accumulated incidence of a 2.35 cases per thousand inhabitants.
       Higher rates were observed in young males (13.57 per thousand), and in
       urban areas (3.7 per thousand). The most frequent risk habit among HIV
       seropositive is the use drugs by intravenous injection (93.7%) followed
       by sexual transmission (3.5%). This methodology provides the minimum
       number of HIV seropositive cases in Navarra, since it does not include
       those not diagnosed, on diagnosed in private centres in Navarra and/or
       in other autonomous regions.
