As there is insufficient data available on the spread of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection by sexual transmission, the prevalence of anti-HCV was determined in several sexually promiscuous groups (78 female prostitutes, 55 clients of prostitutes and 146 homosexual men) who denied intravenous drug abuse. The overall HCV infection rate was much higher in the sexually promiscuous groups (8.97%, 16.36% and 5.48% respectively) than in voluntary blood donors (0.48%), suggesting that HCV infection can be transmitted by sexual intercourse. Consequently, promiscuity may be a risk factor for this infection.
由于关于丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）通过性传播扩散的可用数据不足，我们测定了几组否认静脉注射吸毒的性乱群体（78名女性妓女、55名嫖客和146名男同性恋者）的抗HCV患病率。性乱群体中的总体HCV感染率（分别为8.97%、16.36%和5.48%）远高于自愿献血者（0.48%），这表明HCV感染可通过性交传播。因此，性乱可能是这种感染的一个风险因素。
