Two hundred twenty-nine patients in Haiti with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome were studied between 1979 and 1984. The clinical spectrum of the syndrome in Haitians was similar in most aspects to that in patients with the disease in the United States. However, in contrast to findings in the United States, accepted risk factors (bisexuality, blood transfusions, intravenous drug abuse) were identified in only 43% of Haitian patients. Patients in Haiti with and without these risk factors were similar to each other but differed from age- and sex-matched siblings and friends in the number of heterosexual contacts and receipt of intramuscular injections. These latter activities were commoner in patients than in their siblings and friends, and represent potential modes of transmission of infection with the human T-lymphotropic virus type III.
1979年至1984年间，对海地229名获得性免疫缺陷综合征患者进行了研究。海地人该综合征的临床谱在大多数方面与美国该病患者相似。然而，与美国的研究结果不同，仅43%的海地患者被确定有公认的危险因素（双性恋、输血、静脉注射吸毒）。海地有和没有这些危险因素的患者彼此相似，但在异性接触次数和接受肌肉注射方面与年龄和性别匹配的兄弟姐妹及朋友不同。后两项活动在患者中比在其兄弟姐妹及朋友中更常见，是人类T淋巴细胞病毒III型感染的潜在传播方式。
