AB  - A cross-sectional seroprevalence study of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 
      (HIV-1) and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) was undertaken among 
      494 attendees in two Santo Domingo sexually transmitted disease clinics in 1989. 
      All participants were evaluated for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, 
      syphilis, and genital ulcers. Of the 494 participants, 15 (3.0%) were positive 
      for HIV-1 and 14 (2.8%) were positive for HTLV-I. Twelve of 371 (3.2%) men were 
      HIV-1 seropositive: 0 of 68 homosexual/bisexual and 12 (4.0%) of 302 heterosexual 
      men (one seronegative male could not be classified). Three (2.4%) of 123 women 
      were HIV-1 seropositive. One (1.5%) homosexual/bisexual man, five (1.7%) 
      heterosexual men, and eight (6.5%) women were HTLV-I seropositive. Among 
      heterosexual men, HIV-1 was associated with multiple lifetime sex partners (O.R. 
      = 5.9; 95% C.I. = 1.4, 23; p = 0.007). HIV-1 was associated with genital ulcer 
      disease among women (p = 0.004). Among women, HTLV-I was associated with 
      professional sex work (O.R. = 18; 95% C.I. = 2.1, > 100; p = 0.001). These 
      findings suggest the need for control of sexually transmitted diseases and 
      targeted educational programs for prevention of HIV-1 and HTLV-I among 
      individuals with high-risk behaviors in the Dominican Republic.
