Interplay of population mobility, healthcare resources, and spatiotemporal clustering: epidemiology and prevention strategies for HIV among blood donors in Zhejiang, China
This observational analysis reveals infection risks and healthcare impacts on HIV among blood donors, highlighting migration’s role in disease spread.
Key Points
During 2017-2024, Zhejiang Province recorded 449 HIV-positive blood donors at a rate of 8.63 per 100,000 donors.
Key risk factors identified included migration from high-prevalence regions (OR 1.56) and male gender (OR 7.32), while older age was protective (OR 0.97).
Significant correlations exist between the monthly HIV-positive rate among donors and the general AIDS incidence (r = 0.445, p < 0.001).
Future projections indicate oscillating declines in HIV positivity rates among male donors, with emphasized need for healthcare resource optimization.
