 AB    The rate of coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1
       or 2 and human lymphotropic virus (HTLV) type I or II was determined in
       Nigeria using 4153 human sera collected from different categories of
       people in 21 locations in the country. Eight (0.2%) of samples showed
       evidence of mixed infection with different combinations of HIV-1 or 2
       and HTLV-I or II. One of the eight samples was positive for the four
       human retroviruses. Patients with other sexually transmitted diseases
       and those of sexually active age groups are more likely to be infected
       with multiple human retroviruses than other categories of people whose
       sera were tested. On the other hand, there was no significant difference
       between genders. The clinical and virological implications of this
       finding are discussed.
