新华网内罗毕１２月５日电（记者王淡宜）据肯尼亚《商业日报》５日报道，世界银行近日警告说，受全球金融危机影响，援助国和机构将会削减对非洲各国艾滋病项目的援助资金，这会导致更多人死于艾滋病，同时非洲的经济也将受到冲击。
世界银行负责非洲艾滋病项目的官员伊丽莎白·卢莱说，非洲国家自身缺乏足够的资金开展艾滋病防治工作，如果援助资金减少，艾滋病事业将会面临很大困难。
卢莱说，艾滋病是目前非洲年轻人死亡的最主要杀手之一。由此导致的技术工人和劳动力减少带来的损失在短期内无法恢复，这将直接影响非洲经济的发展。
在非洲南部的一些国家，一些公司不得不在每个岗位雇佣２名工人，以防止他们其中一个由于艾滋病去世。
由于缺乏资金，非洲国家目前艾滋病工作的重点是防控艾滋病向新的人群感染，而不是对感染者提供药物治疗。
卢莱建议，国际援助机构和非洲各国政府应开展更为紧密的合作，同时各国必须确保援助资金得到合理利用。
全世界共有３３００万艾滋病病毒感染者和病人，其中７５％生活在撒哈拉以南非洲地区。世界银行一份报告中称，自２０００年至今世行已经筹集了１６亿美元，专门用于帮助撒哈拉以南非洲地区３０个国家防治艾滋病。
