The seroprevalence of HIV-1 infection in youth aged 12-24 years attending a Bronx community hospital was studied by blinded testing of unused sera. A crude prevalence of 0.98% (95% CI 0.08-1.88%) was observed, higher than rates in United States national HIV surveys, underscoring the need for enhanced screening and preventive services.
通过对未使用血清进行盲法检测,研究了在布朗克斯社区医院就诊的12至24岁青年中HIV-1感染的血清流行率。观察到的粗流行率为0.98%(95%可信区间0.08 - 1.88%),高于美国全国HIV调查中的比率,这突出了加强筛查和预防服务的必要性。
