To evaluate the epidemiology of HIV infection in Asian and Pacific Islander populations in San Francisco, we compared cases of AIDS reported in Asians and Pacific Islanders with those reported in other racial and ethnic groups. The incidence of AIDS in Asians and Pacific Islanders was significantly lower than in Whites, Blacks, Latinos and American Indians and Alaska natives. AIDS cases among Asians and Pacific Islanders have increased 177% since 1985 compared with 54% in other racial and ethnic groups, with the greatest increase in homosexual and bisexual men and transfusion recipients. Among Asian and Pacific Islander ethnic groups, the incidence of AIDS was 168 cases per 100,000 in Polynesians, 141 per 100,000 in Japanese, 92 per 100,000 in 100 Filipinos, 72 per 100,000 in southeast Asians, and 21 per 100,000 in Chinese. We conclude that AIDS cases are disproportionately increasing in Asians and Pacific Islanders in San Francisco.
为评估旧金山亚太岛民人群中艾滋病毒感染的流行病学情况，我们比较了亚裔和太平洋岛民中报告的艾滋病病例与其他种族和族裔群体中报告的病例。亚裔和太平洋岛民中的艾滋病发病率显著低于白人、黑人、拉丁裔以及美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民。自1985年以来，亚裔和太平洋岛民中的艾滋病病例增加了177%，而其他种族和族裔群体为54%，其中同性恋和双性恋男性以及输血接受者的增幅最大。在亚太岛民各族裔中，每10万人中的艾滋病发病率分别为：波利尼西亚人168例、日本人141例、菲律宾人92例、东南亚人72例、中国人21例。我们得出结论，旧金山的亚裔和太平洋岛民中艾滋病病例的增加比例过高。
