Needle/syringe combinations were collected from three shooting galleries in South Florida and tested for the presence of antibodies to HIV-1. Fifteen of 148 needles (10.1 percent) tested positive for HIV-1 antibody. Seropositivity rates did not vary by the day of the week of collection, nor by shooting gallery from which they were collected. When the needle appeared to contain blood residue, 20.0 percent were positive versus 5.1 percent with no blood residue. These findings suggest that needles/syringes used in shooting galleries are likely to serve as reservoirs and/or vectors of transmission of the HIV-1 virus, and that although visual inspection of the needle/syringe may be useful in lessening the chance for transmission, even the visually "clean" needles may result in transmission of infection.
从南佛罗里达的三个射击场收集了针头/注射器组合，并检测了是否存在针对HIV-1的抗体。148根针头中有15根（10.1%）HIV-1抗体检测呈阳性。血清阳性率在收集的星期几以及收集针头的射击场方面没有差异。当针头似乎含有血液残留时，阳性率为20.0%，而无血液残留时为5.1%。这些发现表明，射击场使用的针头/注射器很可能成为HIV-1病毒的储存库和/或传播媒介，并且尽管对针头/注射器进行目视检查可能有助于减少传播机会，但即使是目视“干净”的针头也可能导致感染传播。
