We examined incidence, prevalence, and correlates of HIV infection in Aboriginal peoples in Canada and found that among most risk groups both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal participants showed similar levels of HIV prevalence. Aboriginal peoples who use illicit drugs were found to have higher HIV incidence and prevalence when compared to their non-Aboriginal drug-using peers. Aboriginal street youth and female sex workers were also found to have higher HIV prevalence. Among Aboriginal populations, correlates of HIV-positive sero-status include syringe sharing and frequently injecting drugs, as well as geographic and social factors such as living in Vancouver or having a history of non-consensual sex. This study is relevant to Canada and elsewhere, as Indigenous populations are disproportionately represented in the HIV epidemic worldwide.
我们研究了加拿大原住民中 HIV 感染的发病率、流行率和相关因素，发现在大多数风险群体中，原住民和非原住民参与者的 HIV 流行率相似。与非原住民吸毒者相比，使用非法药物的原住民吸毒者 HIV 发病率和流行率更高。我们还发现，原住民街头青年和性工作者中的 HIV 流行率也较高。在原住民群体中，HIV 阳性血清状况的相关因素包括共用注射器和经常注射毒品，以及地理位置和社会因素，如居住在温哥华或有非自愿性行为史。这项研究与加拿大和其他地方有关，因为在全球 HIV 流行中，土著人群的代表性不成比例。
