     This year's "World AIDS Day" to promote the theme remains "Stop AIDS, to fulfill commitments," is the slogan of "advocacy, participation, to implement." AIDS virus (HIV) infection, AIDS (AIDS) patients were followed up and management of the implementation of the "Four Frees and One Care" policy to control the further spread of the AIDS epidemic and the key link. An interview with reporters a few days ago found that the infection as a result of "missing" caused by the high rate of defaulters Fang Yi has now become the face of one of the major problems.

     Qi Babai was unable to contact

     At present, the city and the urban community health service centers set up AIDS patient follow-up management team, ranks number 31 on the city's AIDS-infected people, AIDS patients, medical follow-up, and for their families and provide relevant prevention knowledge and behavior intervention .

     "Since 2006 to free voluntary HIV counseling and testing out-patient counseling and testing to take anonymous, at least Qi Babai were found HIV-infected people can not get in touch." Talking about HIV and management of follow-up difficult, City Branch of the CDC AIDS Zhang told one of the reasons for them.

     According to statistics, China currently has more than 60 million HIV-infected people, AIDS patients, of whom 160,000 people have been found in testing, but found that after the follow-up and management of only 50,000 people. In other words, the infected persons lost to follow-up rate of over 60%. In the city this year in January to October, the HIV-infected people, AIDS patients were followed up for the first time the rate was 90%, the second follow-up rate of 60%, more than three times the rate of follow-up on the lower.

     Lost to follow-infected people more reasons

     12 years ago, the city discovered the first case of AIDS, AIDS, the average incubation period of 8 to 10 years, this is the early peak incidence of infection from entering the stage, the figure is nearly 30% of infected people in need of anti-virus Treatment. However, many patients with long-term follow-up contact, an increase of treatment more difficult.

     City CDC deputy director of the Anti-end Ping believes that HIV and AIDS patients for drug addicts, the economy more difficult, despite the city on the part of the CDC's HIV treatment to patients confirmed detection, CD4 cell testing and liver function testing costs Given free of charge, but most of the patients and detection of opportunistic infections, such as the cost of the treatment of patients still at their own expense, to be transferred for treatment of serious disease of poverty can not be achieved referral of patients. In addition, in recent years, farmers working in cities are infected with a noticeable increase in migrant workers as a result of no fixed abode, an increase of follow-up to the difficulties.

Should be involved in multi-sectoral anti-Ai

     Observers note that, although the majority of the department has recognized the importance of AIDS prevention and treatment, but not yet the whole society to participate in a wide range of prevention and control structure. Still advocate the same time, for many resources to participate in the work of Fang Yi. In addition to the health department is responsible for infected area and the patient's treatment and epidemic monitoring, public security, judicial, civil affairs, labor and social security, and personnel departments should be division of responsibilities, in close coordination to jointly do a good job in management. If infected people in an increasing number of floating population, the proportion of sexually transmitted channels increased, but the real grass-roots level is that the management of floating population distribution in different government departments, how to coordinate with each other lack of legal authority.

     From a social perspective, we have to create a positive, "Management is also a concern, and consciously accept the infected person is a follow-up management responsibility" atmosphere, and the elimination of discrimination against people infected with HIV and mental patients, with the work of Fang Yi.
