Popis: The article briefly reviews the literature on risk of contracting HIV through heterosexual contacts when travelling abroad. Condoms seems to provide maximum 90% protection against HIV. The risk of contracting HIV during a single intercourse may be very high (about 50%) if the HIV-positive person has genital ulcer disease. The author disagrees with the use of campaigns to promote use of condoms as the only strategy against heterosexually transmitted HIV.
