摘要

Dear Editor, Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remain major public health problems in China,where approximately 780,000 people currently live with HIV,according to the 2012 China AIDS Response Progress Report.Suzhou was an early epidemic region in Jiangsu province and the current situation of HIV-1 prevalence is complicated.In the late 1980s,a labor force returning to Suzhou from Asia and Africa contributed to an early HIV-1 epidemic in the region.The first case of HIV-1 in Suzhou was identified by a sexually transmitted disease clinic in 1992 (Xia et al.1993).
