摘要
We evaluated the prevalence and incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in 3,837 inmates of a state prison system. Ninety-two (2.4 percent) were HIV-seropositive. The highest proportion of HIV-seropositive inmates was found among Blacks (5.4 percent), females, and those 30 years of age or older. HIV-seropositivity of entering inmates was also 2.4 percent and was unchanged over the three years of the study. Seroconversion occurred in two inmates while in prison, a rate of one conversion per 604 person-years, but HIV infection could have occurred before entry. Seroconversion to HIV was rare in inmates in this correctional facility.
