Abstract:
:Retrospective studies have shown that the first HIV positive patient in the Federal Republic (FR) of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) was detected among intravenous drug users (IDUs) in 1981. The first two cases of AIDS in Yugoslavia were registered in 19851; one of them was infected in subSaharan Africa. The objective of this paper is to compare the frequency of HIV/AIDS among Yugoslavians infected during their occupational engagement abroad with all other cases of HIV/AIDS in Yugoslavia.
