An anonymous unlinked HIV antibody test was conducted on 1632 Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) antibody positive women from 10 institutes of 7 prefectures in Japan. All the sera were negative for both HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies. The result may support the suggestion that HIV prevalence is low among general population in Japan. Such a test as this study will be useful not only for developing a reliable HIV surveillance system but also for the study of sexual behavior of general population, since C. trachomatis infection is sensitive to reflect sexual contact.
对来自日本7个县10个机构的1632名沙眼衣原体（C. trachomatis）抗体阳性女性进行了匿名非关联HIV抗体检测。所有血清的HIV-1和HIV-2抗体均为阴性。该结果可能支持日本普通人群中HIV流行率较低的观点。由于沙眼衣原体感染能敏感地反映性接触情况，像本研究这样的检测不仅对建立可靠的HIV监测系统有用，而且对普通人群性行为的研究也有用。
