Prenatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening may reduce vertical HIV transmission. We screened 4,419 prenatal sera and found 38 repeatedly reactive specimens with an HIV-1-HIV-2 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western blot analysis confirmed four of these specimens as positive for HIV-1 antibodies. Screening detects previously unidentified HIV infections, but false-positive results may also occur.
产前人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)筛查可能会减少HIV垂直传播。我们对4419份产前血清进行了筛查,通过HIV-1-HIV-2酶联免疫吸附试验发现了38份反复呈反应性的标本。蛋白质印迹分析证实其中4份标本为HIV-1抗体阳性。筛查可检测出先前未被识别的HIV感染,但也可能出现假阳性结果。
