To determine whether GB virus C (GBV-C) infection is associated with protection against vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), we tested 186 HIV-positive pregnant women for GBV-C. Neither active nor prior GBV-C infection was associated with a lower rate of HIV acquisition among infants. Thus, GBV-C does not appear to protect against perinatal HIV acquisition.
为了确定丙型肝炎病毒（GBV-C）感染是否与预防人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的垂直传播有关，我们对186名HIV阳性孕妇进行了GBV-C检测。无论是现症还是既往GBV-C感染，均与婴儿感染HIV的较低发生率无关。因此，GBV-C似乎不能预防围产期HIV感染。
