Between June 1989 and May 1991, 29,020 subjects were tested for anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies; 1079 were seropositive. A big discrepancy existed between the high seroprevalence in the group 0-3 yr of age, 11.22%, and that of 0.43% in the adult population. Moreover, only a small percentage of the pediatric cases (4%) resulted from maternal infection. These observations indicate viral spread by horizontal transmission. Blood, blood products, and reusable unsterilized needles and syringes were probably the main route by which HIV spread in the infant population in medical institutions. The initial source of HIV infection in Romania remains to be determined.
1989年6月至1991年5月期间，对29020名受试者进行了抗人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）抗体检测；其中1079人血清呈阳性。0至3岁年龄组的血清阳性率高达11.22%，而成人组的血清阳性率为0.43%，两者之间存在巨大差异。此外，儿科病例中仅一小部分（4%）是由母婴感染引起的。这些观察结果表明病毒是通过水平传播扩散的。血液、血液制品以及可重复使用的未经消毒的针头和注射器可能是HIV在医疗机构婴儿群体中传播的主要途径。罗马尼亚HIV感染的初始源头仍有待确定。
