Abstrakt		The Global Programme on AIDS, World Health Organization, estimates that more than 14 million HIV infections have already occurred among men, women and children in the world, up to the middle 1993. More than 2.5 millions have developed AIDS. Both these figures are expected to multiply several times by the year 2000, as an estimated 5000 people are infected every day. In Slovenia the epidemic is still in a very early phase. The first two cases were reported in 1986 and till 30, September 1993 a cumulative total of 30 AIDS cases were reported. The early incidence rate in 1992 was 1.5 per million of population, which is still quite low in comparison to some other European countries. HIV infection of AIDS is basically sexually transmitted disease (STD), which is also, as some other STDs, transmitted through infected blood and from infected mother to the child, before, during, or after delivery. Only mutually monogramous sexual relationship where both partners are uninfected is absolutely safe. Otherwise, the risk can be lowered with choosing sexual partners, and with avoidance of those partners, who themselves have high number of sexual partners (prostitutes), and with condom use and other safer sex practices, that prevent exposure to infected bodily fluids.
