We evaluated the prevalence and incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in 3,837 inmates of a state prison system. Ninety-two (2.4 percent) were HIV-seropositive. The highest proportion of HIV-seropositive inmates was found among Blacks (5.4 percent), females, and those 30 years of age or older. HIV-seropositivity of entering inmates was also 2.4 percent and was unchanged over the three years of the study. Seroconversion occurred in two inmates while in prison, a rate of one conversion per 604 person-years, but HIV infection could have occurred before entry. Seroconversion to HIV was rare in inmates in this correctional facility.
我们评估了某州监狱系统3837名囚犯中人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染的患病率和发病率。92人(2.4%)HIV血清学检测呈阳性。HIV血清学检测呈阳性的囚犯中,黑人比例最高(5.4%),女性以及30岁及以上者比例也较高。新入狱囚犯的HIV血清学阳性率同样为2.4%,且在研究的三年中保持不变。在押期间有两名囚犯发生血清转化,血清转化率为每604人年1例,但HIV感染可能在入狱前就已发生。在该惩教机构中,囚犯血清转化为HIV的情况很罕见。
