Cooperating with CDC, USA, the Center for AIDS Surveillance, Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, first identified the epidemic of HIV-1 C subtype virus in China in 1994. As part of the Eighth-Five National Scientific Program and to get information about the geographical distribution of C subtype of HIV-1 and its epidemic time span in Yunnan, using specific peptide ELISA, we tested 192 anti-HIV-1 positive serums, among intravenous drug users. The results indicated that C subtype of HIV-1 started to appear in Ruili (5.1%) in 1992, and the rates were 12.9% in Ruili and 30.4% in Longchuan in 1993, up to 31.9% in Ruili and 33.3% in Longchuan in 1994. The porpotion of C subtype is increasing among the drug users by year. Whether C subtype would become the main the main epidemic subtype in this areas remains to be under observation.
中国预防医学科学院艾滋病监测中心与美国疾病控制中心合作,于1994年首次在中国发现HIV-1 C亚型病毒的流行。作为“八五”国家科研项目的一部分,为了解HIV-1 C亚型在云南省的地理分布及其流行时间跨度,我们采用特异性肽ELISA法,对192份静脉吸毒者的抗HIV-1阳性血清进行了检测。结果显示,HIV-1 C亚型于1992年开始在瑞丽出现(5.1%),1993年在瑞丽的感染率为12.9%,陇川为30.4%,1994年在瑞丽升至31.9%,陇川为33.3%。吸毒者中C亚型的比例逐年上升。C亚型是否会成为该地区的主要流行亚型仍有待观察。
