In Los Angeles County from 1983-1988, rates of amebiasis declined 65 percent among White males 15-44 years. No such decline occurred among White females 15-44 years or White males less than 15. Reported acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases in the district of highest AIDS incidence has followed the initial decline in amebiasis by four years. Amebiasis trends may be a useful predictor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission and future rates of AIDS among gay men.
1983年至1988年期间，在洛杉矶县，15至44岁的白人男性中阿米巴病发病率下降了65%。15至44岁的白人女性或15岁以下的白人男性中并未出现这种下降。艾滋病发病率最高地区报告的获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）病例在阿米巴病最初下降四年后出现。阿米巴病趋势可能是男同性恋者中人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）传播及未来艾滋病发病率的一个有用预测指标。
