Objective:

The patients of STD clinics are the higher risk group for AIDS. The first HIV-infected patient among Shanghai citizens was found in 1991. From then 24 cases were found. 23 out of them infected by sexual transmission, the other one was did by blood transfusion. The seroepidemiology survey of the vistors at STD clinics has been made since 1989. Methods: From 1993 to 1995 in Shanghai STD Prevention and Control Network that composed of our center and other 22 branch centers in each district and county. 102710 cases were examined by the Two Usage of One Sample Method, a serum sample of each visitor of STD clinic was done for not only the syphilis serum test but also the HIV Antibody determination test.

Results:

There were four HIV-positive cases found in these three years. The positive rate was O.38 per million. It is suggested that Shanghai is a lower epidemical region of HIV now. We note that all positive cases were in 1995. There is a tendency towards spread there. According to primarily analysis these 4 cases were males, the age range was from 40 to 45 year old, they all have sex-abuse history and used to go abroad. 2 out of 4 suffered from both syphilis and HIV infection. Under the very secret conditions, the doctors of our center have been keeping contact with these patients. They were examined in many more aspects such as serology, clinical medicine, socio-psychology at regular intervals. Conclusions: We have accumulated much experience by means of making the AIDS survey among visitors of STD and following up the HIV-infected patients.
