The presence of transmission clusters and their relationship to the recruitment chain were investigated in an HIV prevalence assessment survey using respondent-driven sampling among men who had sex with men (MSM) in Zagreb, Croatia. HIV infection was found in 18 of 360 participants. Five individuals belong to a transmission cluster of MSM infected with phylogenetically related HIV. All were recruited in later waves (fourth to ninth), suggesting that the population is sexually networked.
在克罗地亚萨格勒布对男男性行为者(MSM)采用应答者驱动抽样进行的一项艾滋病毒流行率评估调查中,研究了传播集群的存在情况及其与招募链的关系。360名参与者中有18人感染了艾滋病毒。5名个体属于感染了系统发育相关艾滋病毒的男男性行为者传播集群。所有这些人都是在后续轮次(第四轮至第九轮)招募的,这表明该人群存在性网络联系。
