Background: With the development of HIV/AIDS pandemic in community, amount of HIV/AIDS people more and more increase in prison. Objectives: Determine the rate of HIV/AIDS infection of prisoners at Binh Dien prison. Learning about related elements to HIV/AIDS infection. Subjects and method: Prisoners at Binh Dien prison. Method: 492 prisoners were chosen, interviewed directly and taken blood samples to HIV test. Using cross-sectional study on accidental samples. Techniques were used in this study: SERODIA-HIV and ELISA technique. Results: The rate of current HIV/AIDS infections was 21,74%, some HIV/AIDS related factors in the prison included sex, religion, income source, marrital status, common knowledge of HIV/AIDS, drug addiction history, needle sharing, sexually transmitted disease history, body tatoos and forskin inserted with metal balls, alcohol and beer drinking history, some factors such as: age and educational level were not associated with HIV/AIDS infection in prison. Conclusion: Strengthen interventional activities in prison to prevent HIV/AIDS spread between prisoners. To prisoners who were not infected HIV/AIDS: strengthen educational communication to they may prevent themselves from HIV/AIDS infection behaviors. To HIV/AIDS prisoners: Need to educate and consult especially to they have right behaviors, prevent HIV/AIDS spread for the others while they were in prison as well as they return to society.

4.Surgery, surgical pathology and HIV infection: lessons learned in Zambia
Papua New Guinea medical journal 1994;37(1):29-39
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection is prevalent in many areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Seropositivity rates reach 10-15% in urban adults, 21% in critically ill adults and 30% in surgical inpatients aged 21-40 years. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a multisystem disease which presents to the surgeon with a wide range of pathologies including Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphadenopathy and sepsis. The more common sites for sepsis are the female genital tract, anorectum, pleural cavity, soft tissues (necrotizing fasciitis) and bone and joints. To prevent iatrogenic HIV infection more use should be made of autologous blood. Occupational exposure to HIV infection can be minimized by double-gloving, protecting the eyes when operating and ensuring that theatre gowns are waterproof. The risk of HIV infection from a needlestick injury is 0.4%. Although contact with blood during a surgical procedure is common, the risk is lower than for a hollow needlestick injury.
PIP: In Zambia, 10-15% of urban adults are reported HIV positive, as are over 80% of prostitutes. The HIV seroprevalence rate in a Lusaka hospital's intensive care unit was 21% (27% for surgical and 18% for trauma admissions). HIV-infected patients could be clinically recognized by risk factors or symptoms and signs: weight loss, chronic cough, chronic diarrhea, sepsis, septic arthritis, subacute hematogenous osteomyelitis, a history of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), death of a spouse or of a child under age 2, recent pregnancy unable to go to term, poor quality or thin hair, appearance of aging beyond years, mental slowness, persistent or unexplained fever, lymphadenopathy, aggressive atypical Kaposi's sarcoma, oral thrush, hairy leukoplakia of the tongue, shingles scars, and scars of maculopapular dermatitis. Common sites for HIV-related sepsis are the female genital tract, anorectum, pleural cavity, soft tissues (e.g., necrotizing fascitis), and bone and joints. Autologous blood transfusion and use of donor blood screened for HIV antibodies, preferably limited to emergencies, would reduce the likelihood of iatrogenic HIV transmission. Surgeons should wear two pairs of gloves, a waterproof gown, and goggles to protect themselves from HIV transmission. If they have skin rashes, cuts, or abrasions on the hands or arms, they should not perform operations. Proper cleaning and disinfection of endoscopes are required. The risk of infection from a needle stick is small ( 0.4%).

Journal of Experimental Hematology 2021;29(3):906-909
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the recent HIV-1 infections of the blood donors in Fuzhou zone.
METHODS:
The positive HIV antibody confirmatory samples in Fuzhou zone from 2012 to 2016 were collected and tested by LAg-Avidity EIA, and HIV long-term infections or recent infections were determined.
RESULTS:
405 371 cases of blood donors were tested in the period from 2012 to 2016, and 94 HIV confirmatory positive samples were collected. 35 cases were recent infections determined by LAg-Avidity EIA, the annual HIV-1 incidences were 1.326‰, 0.845‰, 0.694‰, 1.148‰ and 0.364‰, the average incidences were 0.863‰. Among 94 cases of HIV confirmatory positive donors,58 cases were first donors and 36 cases were repeated donors, 17(29.3%) and 18 (50.0%) cases were recent infections respectively, which showed statistical significance(χ
CONCLUSION
The HIV-1 incidences were stable among blood donors in Fuzhou zone. The percentage of HIV-1 recent infections in repeated donors were more higher than that in first donors.

BACKGROUND:
Despite almost two decades of well-funded and comprehensive response efforts by the Chinese Government, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) remains a major problem in China. Yet, few studies have recently examined long-term trends in HIV/AIDS prevalence, incidence, and mortality at the national level. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, incidence, and mortality trends for HIV/AIDS over the past 28 years in China.
METHODS:
We conducted a descriptive, epidemiological, secondary analysis of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 data. To evaluate trends in prevalence, incidence, and mortality over the study period from 1990 to 2017, we calculated values for annual percentage change (APC) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using joinpoint regression analysis.
RESULTS:
A significant increase in HIV/AIDS prevalence was observed for 1990 to 2009 (APC: 10.7; 95% CI: 10.4, 11.0; P < 0.001), and then remained stable for 2009 to 2017 (APC: 0.7; 95% CI: -0.3, 1.7; P = 0.1). A significant increase in HIV incidence was also observed for 1990 to 2005 (APC: 13.0; 95% CI: 12.6, 13.4; P < 0.001), and then a significant decrease was detected for 2005 to 2017 (APC: -6.5; 95% CI: -7.0, -6.1; P < 0.001). A significant increase in AIDS-related mortality rate was detected for 1990 to 2004 (APC: 10.3; 95% CI: 9.3, 11.3; P < 0.001), followed by a period of stability for 2004 to 2013 (APC: 1.3; 95% CI: -0.7, 3.3; P = 0.2), and then another significant increase for 2013 to 2017 (APC: 15.3; 95% CI: 8.7, 22.2; P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
Although prevalence has stabilized and incidence has declined, AIDS-related mortality has risen sharply in recent years. These findings suggest more must be done to bring people into treatment earlier, retain them in treatment more effectively, actively seek to reenter them in treatment if they dropout, and improve the quality of treatment and care regimens.

OBJECTIVETo understand the HIV infection status among MSM in Hubei province and provide scientific evidence for the development of intervention strategy.
METHODSA total of 11 438 samples were collected from MSM in sentinel surveillance during 2010-2013 to detect HIV-1 antibody. BED-CEIA was used to identify the recent HIV infection, and the recent HIV infection rate among the MSM was estimated. The age, group and area specific recent infection rate and condom use rate were analyzed.
RESULTSThe annual HIV positive rates among MSM were 3.34% , 3.74% , 2.96% and 3.15% respectively and the annual recent infection rates were 2.31% , 1.91% , 1.53% and 1.71% respectively during 2010-2013. The HIV positive rate in age group ≤ 30 years was lower than that in age group >30 years, but the recent HIV incidence rate was higher in age group ≤ 30 years than in age group >30 years. The detection rate of recent HIV infection varied with sample source, the highest detection rate was among the samples form work group/CDC and public bathroom (3.54% and 3.49%, respectively). The recent HIV i nfection rate in Wuhan was highest (5.73%). The proportion of MSM using condoms in each homosexual behavior during past six months was 38.91% . Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the factors related to recent HIV infection included sample source (OR = 0.344-0.713), area (OR = 3.581-9.577) and condom usage (OR = 6.686).
CONCLUSIONThe HIV-1 infection rate in MSM was at a high level in Hubei, especially in some areas. The condom use rate was low, it is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of HIV infection in MSM.
