 AB    A retrospective review was conducted to evaluate the influence of risk
       factors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on the outcome
       of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The records of all
       patients seen at Howard University Hospital between February 1984 and
       July 1994 with a diagnosis of HIV infection were reviewed. Two hundred
       seventy-eight patients had a diagnosis of renal failure; 38 of these
       patients developed end-stage renal failure requiring dialysis. Risk
       factors for HIV infection in these patients were intravenous drug abuse,
       homosexual behavior, bisexual preference, and blood transfusion. None of
       these factors consistently influenced the survival of HIV-infected
       patients with ESRD.
