AB Calculation of risk-group-specific rates of HIV infection in the adult
population of Israel results in the identification of four groups
comprising, in total, less than 2% of the population, each of which
carries a relative risk of infection of 500 or more. An estimated 90% of
infections to date have occurred in these four groups. Rather than
dissipate HIV prevention efforts over the entire population, 98% of whom
are at zero or near-zero risk of infection, efforts to prevent HIV
transmission should concentrate on the groups whose relative risk is
enormously high and in whom there is the greatest potential for
preventing further transmission.
