Previously defined "risk factors" in homosexuals with Kaposi's sarcoma may not be causative of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) but are an important tool in identifying segments of the homosexual population who are at increased risk for the development of AIDS and who may benefit from health education and surveillance efforts. The epidemiologic characteristics of such a group of homosexuals from a low incidence area (Pittsburgh, PA) are examined and several factors which may account for differences in incidence are briefly discussed.
先前在患有卡波西肉瘤的同性恋者中定义的“风险因素”可能并非艾滋病（获得性免疫缺陷综合征）的病因，但却是识别同性恋人群中哪些人患艾滋病风险增加以及哪些人可能从健康教育和监测工作中受益的重要工具。本文研究了来自低发病率地区（宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡）的此类同性恋人群的流行病学特征，并简要讨论了可能导致发病率差异的几个因素。
