Immigration is a recent phenomenon in Spain. Certain subgroups of the immigrant population may be vulnerable to acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STI).
Descriptive study of the seroprevalenceof certain STI (HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis) and the general characteristicsn of persons tested for HIV infection in a specialized clinic in Barcelona during the year 2000.
Seroprevalence of HIV was similar in immigrants and native residents(1.8% vs. 1.7% respectively). However, the seroprevalences of hepatitis B virus (anti-HBc) (19.5% vs. 8.3%) and syphilis (RPR 1 TPHA) (3.2% vs. 1.1%), as well as other STI and the practice of prostitution, were higher in immigrants.
Several STI, including hepatitis B and syphilis, were found more frequently in immigrants than in the native population, whereas HIV seroprevalence was similar in the two groups.
移民在西班牙是一个新现象。某些移民群体可能易感染性传播感染(STI)。
对2000年巴塞罗那一家专科诊所中某些性传播感染(艾滋病毒、乙型肝炎和梅毒)的血清流行率以及接受艾滋病毒感染检测者的一般特征进行描述性研究。
移民和本地居民中艾滋病毒的血清流行率相似(分别为1.8%和1.7%)。然而,移民中乙型肝炎病毒(抗-HBc)(19.5%对8.3%)和梅毒(RPR 1 TPHA)(3.2%对1.1%)的血清流行率,以及其他性传播感染和卖淫行为的发生率更高。
包括乙型肝炎和梅毒在内的几种性传播感染在移民中比在本地人群中更常见,而两组中艾滋病毒血清流行率相似。
