To determine the extent of the HIV-1 epidemic in Peru.
Part of a national serosurvey in Peru.
Between January 1986 and December 1990, 140,976 serum samples were tested for HIV-1 antibody.
HIV-1 antibody was found in a high percentage of serum samples provided by 4300 homosexual men (26%), 2204 male sexually transmitted disease patients (10%), 145 drug users (13%), 269 hemophiliacs (10%), and 146 unlicensed female prostitutes (10%). In addition, the prevalence of HIV-1 infection increased substantially among these groups between the beginning and end of the survey period. A low but rising prevalence of HIV-1 antibody was found during this period among serum samples provided by 83,526 blood donors and 11,101 military personnel:total period prevalence, 0.25 and 0.32%, respectively.
These data indicate that HIV-1 infection is epidemic in Peru among groups at high risk of sexually and parenterally transmitted diseases, and that the risk of infection appears to be low but possibly increasing among the general population.
确定秘鲁人类免疫缺陷病毒1型（HIV-1）的流行程度。
秘鲁全国血清学调查的一部分。
1986年1月至1990年12月期间，对140,976份血清样本进行了HIV-1抗体检测。
在4300名男同性恋者提供的血清样本中，HIV-1抗体阳性率很高（26%）；2204名男性性传播疾病患者中为10%；145名吸毒者中为13%；269名血友病患者中为10%；146名无证女性性工作者中为10%。此外，在调查期间开始和结束时，这些人群中HIV-1感染率大幅上升。在此期间，在83,526名献血者和11,101名军人提供的血清样本中发现HIV-1抗体流行率较低但呈上升趋势：整个期间流行率分别为0.25%和0.32%。
这些数据表明，在秘鲁，HIV-1感染在性传播疾病和经肠外传播疾病高风险人群中呈流行态势，而在普通人群中感染风险似乎较低，但可能在增加。
