在艾滋病毒流行率世界上最高的四个南部非洲国家，46.4%的感染艾滋病毒的女性青少年样本报告从未发生过性行为。这将表明，要么是艾滋病毒的非性传播方式占主导地位，要么是样本中对性行为的严重误报。我们提出了一种方法来估计误报的程度，并计算出在感染艾滋病毒的青少年女性样本中，处女的真实百分比为32.1%。在考虑了误报后，艾滋病毒传播的性行为方式的贡献率预计为50.4%，而如果我们假设没有误报，估计为35.5%。版权所有©2013 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
In four Southern African countries where the HIV prevalence rate is among the highest in the world, 46.4% of a sample of female adolescents infected with HIV report having never engaged in sex. This would indicate either the dominance of non‐sexual modes of HIV transmission or rampant misreporting of sexual behavior in the sample. We propose a method to estimate the extent of misreporting and calculate that the true percentages of virgins among the sample of HIV‐infected adolescent women is 32.1%. After accounting for misreporting, the contribution of sexual modes of HIV transmission is projected as 50.4%, compared with an estimate of 35.5% if we assume no misreporting.
