This case history documents four instances of HIV secondary transmission within a single family, which could have been stopped at multiple points by timely prevention. These cases of HIV secondary transmission that have occurred since the scale-up of HIV testing, prevention and clinical services in India raises the question whether the current HIV prevention infrastructure is sufficient and comprehensive in resource-limited settings.
本病例记录了一个家庭内发生的四起艾滋病毒二代传播事件,这些传播本可通过及时预防在多个环节得以阻断。自印度扩大艾滋病毒检测、预防及临床服务规模以来发生的这些艾滋病毒二代传播病例,引发了一个问题:在资源有限的环境中,当前的艾滋病毒预防体系是否足够完善。
