  abstract = {<p>Between 1988 and 1992 three cross-sectional surveys for antibodies to HIV were done in 644 Ethiopian patients with histologically proven leprosy. Whereas the frequency of HIV-1 infection gradually increased from 3.2% to 6.5%, the clinical presentation, number of new patients, and frequency of relapse did not differ between HIV negative and positive patients. Thus HIV appears unlikely to have a significant impact on the incidence of leprosy in sub-Sahelian populations.</p>},
