In a prospective, systematic investigation, 2215 new patients with sexually transmitted diseases (STD) were screened for human immuno deficiency virus (HIV) infection during April 1986 to December 1988. Among them 9 were positive for HIV antibody giving a rate of 4/1000. In addition, 5 patients had been referred to our clinic with a diagnosis of HIV infection and STD. Among these 14, there was one married couple. Of the remaining 5 married individuals, 4 were men; the wives of 3 of them were infected but asymptomatic, and were not included in this report. The rate of conjugal infection was 71 per cent. Most (57%) patients belonged to poor socio-economic background; 78 per cent of patients were young, in the age group 15-25 yr. The presenting STD were syphilis, venereal warts, gonorrhoea, chancroid, genital herpes, non-gonococcal urethritis and candidiasis. It appeared that the course of associated STD had not been altered in these HIV infected individuals.
在一项前瞻性的系统调查中，1986年4月至1988年12月期间，对2215名新诊断的性传播疾病（STD）患者进行了人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染筛查。其中9例HIV抗体检测呈阳性，感染率为千分之四。此外，有5例被诊断为HIV感染和STD的患者转诊至我们诊所。在这14例患者中，有一对已婚夫妇。在其余5例已婚患者中，4例为男性；其中3例男性的妻子被感染但无症状，未纳入本报告。配偶感染率为71%。大多数（57%）患者社会经济背景较差；78%的患者为15至25岁的年轻人。所患STD包括梅毒、尖锐湿疣、淋病、软下疳、生殖器疱疹、非淋菌性尿道炎和念珠菌病。在这些HIV感染个体中，相关STD的病程似乎未发生改变。
