A total of 121 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients diagnosed in Haiti were studied between June 1979 and December 1983. Risk factors were identified in 65% of 34 patients evaluated in a standardized manner since July 1983 and included: bisexuality, 38%; blood transfusion, 21%; and intravenous drug abuse or a spouse with AIDS, 6%. These risk factors were reported by only 20% of the 85 patients studied between June 1979 and June 1983. AIDS patients also reported more frequent parenteral injections prior to the onset of their illness than control subjects (e.g., siblings, friends, sexual partners). Heterosexual activity among female AIDS patients was also greater than in their female controls. It was concluded that, in contrast to the experience reported among Haitians with AIDS in the USA, risk factors are present among most patients with AIDS in Haiti.
1979年6月至1983年12月期间，对海地诊断出的121例获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）患者进行了研究。自1983年7月以来，在以标准化方式评估的34例患者中，65%确定了危险因素，包括：双性恋，38%；输血，21%；静脉药物滥用或配偶患有艾滋病，6%。在1979年6月至1983年6月研究的85例患者中，只有20%报告了这些危险因素。艾滋病患者还报告说，在发病前比对照组（如兄弟姐妹、朋友、性伴侣）更频繁地进行非肠道注射。女性艾滋病患者中的异性性活动也比女性对照组更多。得出的结论是，与在美国海地裔艾滋病患者中报告的情况相反，海地大多数艾滋病患者存在危险因素。
