Serum specimens of 1,074 intravenous drug abusers (IVDA) were examined for infection with HIV-1, HTLV-I and HTLV-II in central Thailand. Three hundred and sixty-two of the specimens were seropositive for HIV-1 (33.7%). The HIV-1 seropositive IVDAs exhibited increased seropositivity with age through group 40-44 and significantly decreased seropositivity over the age of 45. In contrast, no seropositivity to either HTLV-I or -II was detected in the samples tested by a particle-agglutination assay for HTLV followed by type-specific Western blotting for HTLV. Reference to previous reports suggested that the rate of HIV infection in IVDAs has decreased with no HTLV-I or HTLV-II in Thailand when compared with that of the HIV infection in 1992.
在泰国中部，对1074名静脉注射吸毒者（IVDA）的血清样本进行了HIV-1、HTLV-I和HTLV-II感染检测。其中362份样本HIV-1血清学检测呈阳性（33.7%）。HIV-1血清学检测呈阳性的IVDA在40至44岁组中随着年龄增长血清学阳性率增加，而45岁以上血清学阳性率显著下降。相比之下，通过HTLV颗粒凝集试验及随后的HTLV型特异性蛋白质印迹法检测的样本中，未检测到HTLV-I或-II的血清学阳性。参考之前的报告表明，与1992年的HIV感染情况相比，泰国IVDA中HIV感染率有所下降，且未发现HTLV-I或-II感染。
