“…52 Respecto a la tasa de seropositividad al VIH, el único dato significativo es que, si exceptuamos a los pacientes muertos por SIDA, la prevalencia es mayor en los individuos fallecidos por hepatopatías, dato que coincide con los resultados de estudios precedentes. 3,18,53 El estudio no ha revelado que el porcentaje de seropositividad al VIH sea más alto entre los ADVP muertos por sobredosis o suicidio. En este aspecto, algunos estudios confirman nuestros datos, 5,6,18,54 al contrario que otros.…”
