Abstract

The prevalence of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was determined in the relatives, friends, and sex partners of AIDS patients in Haiti and in other unrelated Haitian population groups. Among contacts of AIDS patients, HIV seroprevalence was highest among sex partners of the opposite sex (55%) and lowest among female relatives and friends (9%) of female AIDS patients. Male relatives and friends of male AIDS patients had a seroprevalence rate of 19% and also had a history of multiple heterosexual partners and frequent contact with prostitutes. The HIV seroprevalence rate among unrelated groups of Haitian adults ranged from 2% in rural healthy adults to 22% among tuberculosis patients to a high of 49% among Haitian prostitutes. This seroprevalence pattern suggests that HIV infection is widespread in Haiti and that heterosexual activity plays a major role in transmission.

摘要

在海地，对艾滋病患者的亲属、朋友和性伴侣以及其他无关联的海地人群体进行了人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）抗体流行率的测定。在艾滋病患者的接触者中，HIV血清阳性率在异性性伴侣中最高（55%），在女性艾滋病患者的女性亲属和朋友中最低（9%）。男性艾滋病患者的男性亲属和朋友的血清阳性率为19%，他们也有多个异性性伴侣且经常接触妓女的病史。在无关联的海地成年人群体中，HIV血清阳性率从农村健康成年人中的2%到结核病患者中的22%，再到海地妓女中的高达49%。这种血清阳性率模式表明HIV感染在海地广泛存在，并且异性性行为在传播中起主要作用。
