Seventeen Caucasian patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) contracted after long stays in Africa are reported. Central Africa was concerned in all cases. Men are particularly exposed to AIDS whatever their occupation. This study suggests that the risk of contracting AIDS in Africa is high; the transmission of the virus was related to sexual contact, particularly with prostitutes, in Africa in most of the cases. It suggests also that Caucasians who travel in Africa spread the virus throughout the world by means of their heterosexual relations.
报告了17名在非洲长期停留后感染获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）的白种人患者。所有病例均涉及中非地区。无论从事何种职业，男性尤其容易感染艾滋病。这项研究表明，在非洲感染艾滋病的风险很高；在大多数情况下，病毒传播与性接触有关，特别是与非洲妓女的性接触。这也表明，在非洲旅行的白种人通过异性关系将病毒传播到了世界各地。
