Sera from 119 patients attending a venereal disease clinic in Copenhagen during May 1983 were screened for antibodies to the newly characterized and isolated retrovirus HTLV-III. Ten out of 45 (22%) homosexual patients and two out of 74 (2.7%) heterosexual patients were found to have antibodies against HTLV-III. The homosexual group (except one case that developed AIDS and died during one year observation period) contained otherwise healthy men some of which had no contact with individuals from high-risk areas and only a few sexual partners. These results strongly suggest that Danish homosexuals with only few contacts are also at risk and that sero-epidemiological studies should also include the healthy homosexual group and probably the heterosexual group attending venereal disease clinics.
1983年5月期间，对哥本哈根一家性病诊所的119名患者的血清进行了检测，以筛查针对新鉴定和分离出的逆转录病毒HTLV-III的抗体。45名同性恋患者中有10名（22%），74名异性恋患者中有2名（2.7%）被发现含有抗HTLV-III抗体。同性恋组（除1例在一年观察期内患艾滋病死亡外）其他成员均为健康男性，其中一些人与高危地区的人没有接触，且性伴侣很少。这些结果强烈表明，接触很少的丹麦同性恋者也有感染风险，血清流行病学研究也应包括健康的同性恋群体，可能还应包括就诊于性病诊所的异性恋群体。
