The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was determined in women at the time of childbirth throughout New York State between November 30, 1987, and November 30, 1988. Mandatory blood specimens (276,609) obtained from all newborns were examined for HIV. The overall HIV seroprevalence rate was 0.66% (1816 newborns), with 0.16% in Upstate New York and 1.25% in New York City. Rates for newborns whose mothers were aged 20 to 29 years (1.30%) and 30 to 39 years (1.35%) were significantly higher than rates for those with mothers younger than 20 years of age (0.72%). Rates of seropositivity were higher among blacks (1.8%) and Hispanics (1.3%) than among whites (0.13%). Seropositivity of HIV was higher in zip code areas with high rates of drug use (2.2%) than in the rest of New York City (0.8%). It is estimated that more than 726 HIV-infected children were born in New York State during the 1-year study period, using 40% as the probable proportion of seropositives that will become infected.
1987年11月30日至1988年11月30日期间，对纽约州分娩时的女性进行了人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染率的测定。对所有新生儿采集的强制血样（276,609份）进行了HIV检测。HIV总体血清阳性率为0.66%（1816名新生儿），纽约州北部为0.16%，纽约市为1.25%。母亲年龄在20至29岁（1.30%）和30至39岁（1.35%）的新生儿感染率显著高于母亲年龄小于20岁的新生儿（0.72%）。黑人（1.8%）和西班牙裔（1.3%）的血清阳性率高于白人（0.13%）。药物使用率高的邮政编码地区HIV血清阳性率（2.2%）高于纽约市其他地区（0.8%）。据估计，在为期1年的研究期间，纽约州有超过726名感染HIV的儿童出生，假定血清阳性者中有40%可能会被感染。
