The Department of Defense has conducted extensive HIV testing for over 5 years. We summarize the epidemiology of the HIV infection in the total Army. While screening of civilian applicants effectively ensures seronegativity of enlistees, there are approximately 220 new HIV infections each year among active duty soldiers. High-risk demographic groups in the Army include single soldiers, males, those age 25-35, blacks, and Hispanics (including black and Hispanic females). While preventive efforts in the Army should reflect the higher risk experienced by these groups, all soldiers should be made aware of their susceptibility as the epidemic evolves to include more women and heterosexual men.
国防部已经进行了超过5年的广泛艾滋病毒检测。我们总结了整个陆军中艾滋病毒感染的流行病学情况。虽然对平民申请者的筛查有效地确保了新兵的血清阴性，但现役士兵中每年仍有大约220例新的艾滋病毒感染病例。陆军中的高风险人群包括单身士兵、男性、25至35岁的人、黑人以及西班牙裔（包括黑人及西班牙裔女性）。虽然陆军的预防措施应反映这些群体所面临的较高风险，但随着疫情发展到包括更多女性和异性恋男性，所有士兵都应意识到自己易受感染的情况。
