We compare prevalence (by actual presence or history of condition) rates of selected AIDS-defining conditions across genders in a sample of 1,498 HIV-infected participants who visited our health service facilities between mid 1992 and early 1996. The comparisons were performed globally (considering all subjects) and on a subsample of participants whose most probable mode of infection with HIV was through (self-reported) use of injecting drugs. Global analysis revealed no significant differences across genders for any of the conditions considered; the most prevalent condition being Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Subsample-specific analysis (injecting drug users), however, revealed that women from this subgroup were likelier to have (present or by history) at least one AIDS-defining condition; they were also significantly likelier to specifically report candidiasis and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
我们在1992年年中至1996年初期间访问我们医疗服务机构的1498名艾滋病毒感染者样本中，比较了选定的艾滋病界定疾病在不同性别中的患病率（根据疾病的实际存在情况或病史）。比较是在总体上（考虑所有受试者）以及在最可能的艾滋病毒感染途径为（自我报告）注射吸毒的参与者子样本上进行的。总体分析显示，在所考虑的任何疾病方面，不同性别之间均无显著差异；最常见的疾病是卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎。然而，子样本特异性分析（注射吸毒者）显示，该亚组中的女性更有可能患有（目前或有病史）至少一种艾滋病界定疾病；她们也明显更有可能专门报告念珠菌病和卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎。
