醫(yī)藥
盡管艾滋病受害者人數(shù)在不斷增加，中國尚未研制出一種有效的藥物。國外治療艾滋病的藥品每年花費(fèi)幾千美元，這遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了大多數(shù)中國人的經(jīng)濟(jì)收入。中國衛(wèi)生部艾滋病預(yù)防和控制中心的副主任曹運(yùn)振建議政府在全國推廣雞尾療法。這一療法已經(jīng)在全世界得到普遍應(yīng)用，而且被證明能夠有效地控制艾滋病毒。但每位患者每月大約要花費(fèi)8000元，這對于大多數(shù)中國家庭來說是極為昂貴的。曹運(yùn)振說：“應(yīng)該努力使中國自己的企業(yè)生產(chǎn)抗艾滋病藥品，這樣的藥品價(jià)格才會降下來?！彼盅a(bǔ)充說，政府就降低艾滋病藥品價(jià)格問題正在和外國制藥商進(jìn)行談判。
到目前為止，中國已經(jīng)建立了6個(gè)艾滋病治療中心，分別設(shè)在北京、上海、昆明、廣州、鄭州和烏魯木齊。
Medicine
Despite the growing number of AIDS sufferers, China has not developed any effective medicine itself. Foreign AIDS drugs can cost thousands of dollars a year, well beyond the means of most Chinese. Cao Yunzhen, deputy director of the National Center for AIDS Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Health, suggested the government should promote the adoption of the cocktail treatment across the country. This treatment is in widespread use all over the world, and it has proven effective at controlling the HIV virus. But it's too expensive for most Chinese families, at about 8000 yuan per month per patient. "Efforts should be made to enable Chinese companies to manufacture their own AIDS drugs so that the price can be lowered," Cao said, adding that the government is negotiating with foreign manufacturers on lowering the price of AIDS drugs.
China has, so far, established six centers engaged in the treatment of AIDS, which are located in Beijing, Shanghai, Kunming, Guangzhou, Zhengzhou and Urumqi.
公眾意識至關(guān)重要
美國一位艾滋病研究領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人提醒說：在中國，公眾意識、精確的數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)和非政府部門的參與對于控制和預(yù)防艾滋病至關(guān)重要。美國“公共健康診所”副總裁費(fèi)爾·尼爾博格說：“中國正處在艾滋病流行的開始階段，因此，美國在艾滋病流行初期所遇到的問題值得考慮。20年前，公眾對于艾滋病毒意識很淡薄，人們甚至還不知道艾滋病毒在美國存在，就已經(jīng)被感染了。很明顯，在美國過去的20年里，艾滋病不僅僅是一種疾病，而且也是一個(gè)社會問題。我們已經(jīng)認(rèn)識到，單靠醫(yī)學(xué)方法來對付艾滋病不大可能取得成功?！?同時(shí)，費(fèi)爾·尼爾博格也鼓勵(lì)非政府部門在艾滋病的控制中發(fā)揮積極作用。
Public awareness vital
A leading American AIDS researcher cautioned that public awareness; accurate statistics and participation of the non-governmental sector are critical for HIV/AIDS prevention and control in China. “China is at the beginning of its AIDS epidemic, and the problems the United States faced at the beginning are worth thinking about,” said Phil Nieburg, associate director of Public Health Practice. “Two decades ago, public awareness about AIDS and HIV was limited and people were becoming infected without even knowing that AIDS existed in the United States. It has become very clear during the past 20 years in the United States that HIV is not just the disease process; it is a social issue. We have learned that trying to take only a medical approach to HIV/AIDS is not likely to be successful.” He also encouraged the non-governmental sector to play a positive role in HIV/AIDS control.
