 AB    Over a four-month study period, 87 patients requesting termination of
       pregnancy at a gynaecology clinic were offered screening for sexually
       transmitted diseases, of whom 63 accepted. A total of 41 infections were
       found in 34 women, the commonest being vaginal candidiasis and bacterial
       vaginosis. Chlamydia was found in six patients. Although HIV antibody
       testing was offered to every patient, all declined this test.
