AB OBJECTIVE: In order to elicit the seroprevalence of HIV in the people at
the Tokyo district, we have been engaged in HIV antibody testing from
1987. METHODS: HIV antibody testing has been done for the persons who
have visited health centers of Tokyo metropolitan district, using ELISA
as the screening test, western blot and indirect immunofluorescent assay
as the confirmation test. HIV-1 seropositive samples were tested for
subtyping with V3 peptide ELISA. RESULTS: 193 HIV seropositive samples
have been detected among 66731 samples that have been assayed since Feb.
1987 to Dec 1993. 113 seropositive samples and 72 ones were detected in
1992 and 1993 respectively. 152 samples out of seropositive ones were
assayed to differentiate HIV-1 from HIV-2, and all were positive for
HIV-1. In typing of V3 peptide ELISA, Euro-American type and Thai type
has been predominant. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: It is suggested that
the infection rate of HIV-1 has been increased in a recent few years.
HIV-2 infection has not yet prevailed among the people in Tokyo, we are
going to the surveillance of HIV-2 as well as HIV-1.
