Samples of serum from 421 patients attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) were tested by radioimmunoassay for determination of the prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis A antigen (anti-HA). It was found that 42 . 4% of 33 homosexual men, 39 . 4% of 218 heterosexual men, and 38 . 8% of 170 female patients had positive results for anti-HA. The association between serological results and data on STD patients, using the variables of age, sexual type and preference, number of sexual partners in the preceding six months, and number of lifetime sexual partners and age, was determined statistically. The results show that the number of lifetime sexual partners is another factor concerned in the high prevalence of anti-HA.
对421名到性传播疾病(STD)门诊就诊的患者的血清样本进行放射免疫测定,以确定甲型肝炎抗原抗体(抗-HA)的流行率。结果发现,33名同性恋男性中有42.4%、218名异性恋男性中有39.4%、170名女性患者中有38.8%的抗-HA检测结果呈阳性。利用年龄、性取向和偏好、前六个月性伴侣数量、终生性伴侣数量以及年龄等变量,对血清学结果与性传播疾病患者数据之间的关联进行了统计学分析。结果表明,终生性伴侣数量是抗-HA高流行率的另一个相关因素。
