    Abstract:
    Serial serum samples from the 21 HIV-infected Norwegian hemophiliacs have been assayed for the presence of HIV antigen and antibodies to HIV specific for the core protein p24 and the envelope protein gp41. HIV antigen was detected in 4 patients, of whom 3 have developed AIDS to date. HIV antigen appeared in serum 10 to 24 months before the diagnosis in these patients. Antibodies to gp41 was a constant finding. Antibodies to p24 disappeared from the serum in 1 patient who developed AIDS and from 3 persons free of symptoms related to the HIV infection. The detection of HIV antigen in HIV antibody-positive hemophiliacs appears to be of considerable prognostic significance.
