Abstract:
Objective:To understand HIV infection status and characteristics of non-remunerated blood donors in Hangzhou.
Methods:HIV antibody test were conducted for non-remunerated blood donors in Hangzhou and their demographic and epidemiological information were collected from 2008-2017. χ2 test for trend (liner by liner association chi square test) was used for the comparison of the HIV infection trends in each year.
Results:A total of 1 461 129 non-remunerated blood donors were surveyed in Hangzhou during 2008-2017, and 260 blood donors were HIV positive. Most HIV infected blood donors were males (96.5%, 251/260) and aged 18-34 years (72.7%, 189/260). Among 260 HIV positive blood donors, those reporting repeated non-remunerated blood donation accounted for 36.9% (96/260), those reporting homosexual transmission accounted for 53.5% (139/260) and those reporting heterosexual transmission accounted for 44.6% (116/260). The HIV infected persons reporting homosexual behaviors were mainly aged 18-34 years (82.0%, 114/139) and unmarried (71.2%, 99/139). Most HIV infected students reported homosexual transmission (88.4%, 23/26). The crude HIV positive rate was 0.8/10 000-2.5/10 000, the differences in annual HIV positive rate had no significance (trend χ2=2.355, P=0.125). The crude HIV positive rate in male blood donors aged 18-24 years increased from 1.1/10 000 in 2008 to 3.7/10 000 in 2017, the difference was significant (trend χ2=5.175, P=0.023). Standardized HIV positive rate was 0.9/10 000-2.4/10 000.
Conclusions:HIV infection rate was low in non-remunerated blood donors in Hangzhou during 2008-2017. Most HIV infected persons were males and aged 18-34 years. Heterosexual and homosexual contacts were the major transmission routes. The HIV positive rate in males aged 18-24 years showed an increase trend.
