 AB    In order to evaluate function of Hypothalamus-hypophisis ThyroidA Axis
       (HH THYA) and testis Axis (HH TestA) 20 patients with AIDS (IV group,
       CDC 1987) and 7 controls were submited to stimulation with THR(200mg)
       and LHRH (100 mg) EV route. Basal levels of T3, T4, TSH, LH, FSH and of
       TSH, LH, FSH 30 and 60 min post TRH-LHRH were performed. Results: there
       was no statistical diference between controls and patients in respect to
       TSH, LH and FSH (basal and after stimulation tast). Conclusions:
       probably no lesion of the hypothalamus-hypophyseal area caused by AIDS
       was present because the function of bith hormonal axis was normal in
       these patients studied.
