We studied immunoglobulin A production (IgA) in prostates of men with AIDS. Prostate sections from AIDS patients and human immunodeficiency virus-negative men were stained for IgA with immunoperoxidase. Prostate sections from nondiseased men were positive for IgA, while prostate sections from AIDS patients were essentially negative for IgA. Diminishing secretory IgA production may represent a characteristic of AIDS.
