在发现一名被称为梅毒接触者的移民工人感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）后，南卡罗来纳州卫生与环境控制部向周边两个县地区的移民工人提供艾滋病毒咨询和检测以及梅毒筛查。 此外，还进行了一份简短的调查问卷来记录人口统计数据和风险行为。 在 15 个流动营地的 265 名 16 岁及以上工人中，有 198 人（75%）同意接受调查和检测。 在 198 名接受测试的人中，85% 是男性，75% 是单身。 中位年龄为 39 岁，范围为 16 岁至 69 岁。 25 人 (13%) 的 HIV 抗体呈阳性，32 人 (16%) 进行了梅毒反应性血清学检测。 在报告使用安全套频率的 166 名工人中，77 名（46%）表示他们从不使用安全套。 我们的结论是，南卡罗来纳州这些农村移徙工人的艾滋病毒感染率相对较高，他们的行为使他们面临感染艾滋病毒和其他性传播疾病的风险。
After finding human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in a migrant worker named as a syphilis contact, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control offered HIV counseling and testing and syphilis screening to migrant workers in the surrounding two-county area. In addition, a brief questionnaire was administered to document demographics and risk behavior. Of the 265 workers aged 16 and older in 15 migrant camps, 198 (75%) consented to the survey and testing. Of the 198 tested, 85% were male and 75% single. The median age was 39, with a range of 16 to 69 years. Twenty-five (13%) were HIV antibody positive, and 32 (16%) had reactive serologic tests for syphilis. Of the 166 workers who reported the frequency of condom use, 77 (46%) indicated they never use condoms. We conclude that there is a relatively high rate of HIV infection in these rural South Carolina migrant workers, whose behavior puts them at risk for HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases.
