The prevalence of antibody against human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV), which rose among British homosexual/bisexual men attending a London sexually-transmitted-disease clinic from 3.7% (4/107) in March, 1982, to 21% (26/124) in July, 1984, was 18.1% (17/94) in April/May 1985, 24.5% (61/249) in January, 1986, and 25.3% (25/99) in November/December, 1986. This slower rise in anti-HIV prevalence coincided with a fall in the annual gonorrhoea rate from 15.3% in 1982 to 5.1% in the first half of 1986 in the same male homosexual clinic population. Over the same period a reduction in the number of sexual partners and a change to safer sexual practices has been documented among homosexual and bisexual men taking part in a prospective study of the natural history of HIV infection. These data support the value of continuing preventive efforts to control viral spread in the absence of an effective vaccine or therapy.
在伦敦一家性传播疾病诊所就诊的英国男同性恋者/双性恋男性中，抗人类免疫缺陷病毒（抗HIV）抗体的流行率从1982年3月的3.7%（4/107）上升至1984年7月的21%（26/124），1985年4月/5月为18.1%（17/94），1986年1月为24.5%（61/249），1986年11月/12月为25.3%（25/99）。抗HIV流行率的这种较慢上升与同一家男同性恋诊所人群中淋病年发病率从1982年的15.3%降至1986年上半年的5.1%相吻合。在参与一项关于HIV感染自然史的前瞻性研究的男同性恋者和双性恋男性中，同期记录到性伴侣数量减少以及性行为转变为更安全的做法。这些数据支持在缺乏有效疫苗或治疗方法的情况下，继续开展预防工作以控制病毒传播的价值。
