　中新网8月12日电据联合国网站报道，联合国艾滋病规划署8月11日在亚洲及太平洋艾滋病问题国际大会召开期间发布的一份报告指出，亚洲大约有5000万女性面临被亲密伴侣传染艾滋病的风险。

　　报告指出，亚洲各国艾滋病流行情况存在差异，但不加防护的商业性行为、注射吸毒者之间分享被污染的注射器、男男性行为者之间不加防护的性行为等因素是导致艾滋病蔓延的主要原因。购买性服务的男子是感染艾滋病的最主要群体，而他们中大多数或者已婚，或者将要结婚。这使许多仅与丈夫或长期伴侣发生性行为、通常被认为是低风险群体的女性面临着感染艾滋病毒的风险。

　　据估计，亚洲170万女性艾滋病毒感染者中，90%以上是被自己的丈夫或长期伴侣所传染。亚洲艾滋病毒感染者中女性所占的比例已由1990年的17%增至2008年的35%。

　　艾滋病规划署指出，许多亚洲国家夫权至上的文化限制了女性在性问题上的发言权。社会期待女性婚前避免性行为，婚后只保持一个性伴侣，但对男性的婚外性行为以及拥有多个性伴侣的行为却持宽容态度。消除两性不平等的根源以及致力于改变男性行为是控制艾滋病在亚洲流行的关键。
