Popis:	The testes of an autopsy sample of 56 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and systemic opportunistic infections were studied for the presence and type of testicular infection. Light-microscopic evidence of opportunistic organisms (cytomegalovirus, Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare, and Toxoplasma) was present in 22 cases (39%). Based on the prevalence and histologic features of the testicular infections and the biological characteristics of the specific organisms, the possible sexual transmission of opportunistic organisms in AIDS is discussed.
