In this paper we give sufficient conditions for an HNN group to have the following two properties:

(1) any two finitely generated subgroups intersect in a finitely generated subgroup;

(2) every finitely generated subgroup containing a non-trivial subnormal subgroup has finite index.

The following result is a particular case of the main theorem.
