Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases reported as the result of heterosexual contact have been increasing in the United States, with Florida reporting a disproportionate number. We investigated 168 such AIDS cases from southern Florida. After follow-up, 50 (30%) patients were reclassified into other transmission categories. The data suggest that the increased rate of heterosexually acquired AIDS cases reported from southern Florida was partially related to misclassification of risk.
在美国,因异性接触而报告的获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)病例一直在增加,佛罗里达州报告的病例数量不成比例。我们调查了佛罗里达州南部的168例此类艾滋病病例。随访后,50例(30%)患者被重新分类到其他传播类别。数据表明,佛罗里达州南部报告的异性传播艾滋病病例增加率部分与风险分类错误有关。
