Limited epidemiological data on acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have been assembled by voluntarily reported AIDS figures, blood donor serum prevalence and high-risk sentinel population and random background population sero-prevalence studies. The HIV epidemic in South Africa can thus be shown to consist of four separate epidemics of which the heterosexual epidemic will undoubtedly constitute the major growth in this country. Intervention must be directed to shrinking the promiscuous core which sustains this epidemic by directing attention at female prostitution and limiting the reproductive rate of the epidemic by energetic and professionally directed education at an early stage of a child's school career. Sexually transmitted diseases will play a major role in the determination of the extent of the heterosexual epidemic.
通过自愿报告的艾滋病数据、献血者血清流行率、高危哨点人群以及随机背景人群血清流行率研究，已收集到关于获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）和人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染的有限流行病学数据。因此，南非的HIV疫情可显示为由四种不同的疫情组成，其中异性传播疫情无疑将成为该国疫情的主要增长点。干预措施必须针对缩小维持这一疫情的滥交核心群体，方法是关注女性卖淫问题，并在儿童学业早期通过积极且专业指导的教育来限制疫情的传播速度。性传播疾病将在确定异性传播疫情的范围方面发挥主要作用。
