Boston - A US study due to be published today found that three out of four women infected with the AIDS virus told their sexual partners while about half the number of infected men disclosed their affliction.
Researchers at two New England city hospitals led by Dr Michael Stein Brown University found that only 52 per cent of men opposed to 78 per cent of women told their sexual partners of their HIV status. The study will be published in today's Archives of Internal Medicine.
Of those who did not disclose they were infected with the HIV virus, only 42 per cent said they always used a condom during sexual intercourse.
