AB OBJECTIVE: To examine the seroprevalence of HIV-1 infection among young
Thai men entering the Royal Thai Army (RTA) from 1990 to 1993. METHODS:
Each year, over 50,000 young men are conscripted to serve in the RTA.
The conscripts are selected by lottery throughout Thailand in April and
are inducted in May and November. All inductees are routinely screened
for HIV-1 antibody by ELISA with Western Blot confirmation. Prevalence
of infection by location of conscription is presented here, while
prevalence by location of residence is presented elsewhere. RESULTS:
Observed HIV-1 Seroprevalence Among Young Thai Men (Percent). TABULAR
DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSIONS: The overall seroprevalence of
HIV-1 among young Thai men entering the RTA has increased since 1990.
The highest seroprevalence is found in the North. However, the
seroprevalence in Bangkok, Central and Northeast regions has more than
doubled during this period. Clearly, effective interventions are needed
to slow the spreading epidemic in Thailand.
