Former director of NTU Hospital Chuang Che-yen observes that when AIDS first broke out, the first group of people to be infected had a higher rate of death, because of lower immunity within their group, or because the disease had a shorter period of latency.
前臺大醫院副院長莊哲彥指出，早期發現的第一批感染者，由於族群免疫力低，病毒潛伏期短；也可能病毒較毒，因此致死率高。
