In attention to the important HIV-1 seroprevalence observed in Margarita Island, we carried out this study to establish HTLV-I/II seroprevalence into target groups for sexual transmission. Therefore the survey was done with 141 female sex workers and 40 Gay men between 1994 and 1997. We found HTLV-I infection in one man. This is the first known report to describe epidemiological features of HTLV-I/II infection in Margarita Island.
鉴于在玛格丽塔岛观察到的重要的HIV-1血清阳性率,我们开展了这项研究,以确定性传播目标人群中的HTLV-I/II血清阳性率。因此,在1994年至1997年期间,对141名女性性工作者和40名男同性恋者进行了调查。我们在一名男性中发现了HTLV-I感染。这是描述玛格丽塔岛HTLV-I/II感染流行病学特征的首个已知报告。
