Surveillance and care of four Chinese hemophiliacs with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
Four Chinese hemophiliacs with HIV infection have been followed up in Zhejiang Province since 1985. A plan for optimal care of HIV seropositive patients was proposed, including surveillance and care; clinical follow-up and preventive education of asymptomatic HIV seropositive patients; keeping the disease confidential so as not to stir up unnecessary social unease; propaganda and health education about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); treatment with traditional Chinese medicines; and regular surveillance of family members and medical personnel. This plan is regarded as feasible and effective for the prevention and control of AIDS in China.
