Information on the prevalence and risk factors for HIV infection among sailors is scarce. The aim of this seroprevalence study was to evaluate the frequency of HIV infection among sailors in south of Iran using rapid HIV test. The study included 400 consecutive participants in Lengeh, Shahid Rajaie, and Shahid Bahonar ports in south of Iran in May 2010. We observed only one case (0.25%) of HIV infection in this sample of sailors. While prevalence appears low at present, we recommend periodic HIV serosurveillance with detailed behavioral measures for this population in the future.
关于海员中艾滋病毒感染率及风险因素的信息匮乏。这项血清流行率研究的目的是通过快速艾滋病毒检测评估伊朗南部海员中艾滋病毒感染的频率。该研究纳入了2010年5月在伊朗南部伦格、沙希德拉贾伊和沙希德巴霍纳尔港口的400名连续参与者。在这个海员样本中,我们仅观察到1例(0.25%)艾滋病毒感染病例。虽然目前感染率似乎较低,但我们建议未来对该人群进行定期艾滋病毒血清监测,并采取详细的行为措施。
