High resolution ultraviolet spectroscopy of the early-type X-ray binary Vela X-l/HD 77581 provides a unique example to study the ionization structure of the stellar wind which varies under influence of the X-ray source. New results for other early-type X-ray binaries will be presented and compared with the Vela X-1 model. These results show that the observed variations strongly depend on the intensity of the X-ray source and on the density structure of the stellar wind.
