In response to a high incidence of AIDS among injecting drug users in Barcelona, Spain, the city established a program in four geographically distinct centers for assistance and surveillance. The centers provided testing, counseling, and monitoring of infectious diseases. In 1991-92, HIV rates were 33% in the northwest center, 39% in the western center, 39% in the east, and 71% in the south. Differences between the rates in the southern center when compared with those in the other centers were very significant (P < or = .001). These data show geographic variation of HIV infection within one city and substantiate the need to provide expanded medical care in the drug misuse treatment setting.
针对西班牙巴塞罗那注射吸毒者中艾滋病高发的情况,该市在四个地理位置不同的中心设立了一个援助和监测项目。这些中心提供检测、咨询以及传染病监测服务。在1991 - 1992年期间,西北部中心的艾滋病毒感染率为33%,西部中心为39%,东部为39%,南部为71%。南部中心与其他中心的感染率差异非常显著(P≤0.001)。这些数据表明了一个城市内艾滋病毒感染的地理差异,并证实了在药物滥用治疗环境中提供扩大医疗服务的必要性。
