大渝网讯:以往的防艾志愿小组成员们多采用实地宣传的方式干预艾滋病,志愿者多亲往酒吧、同志浴室等较集中的高危场所进行防艾科普宣传,此举也为志愿者们带来潜在感染危险,而采用手机定向为高危人群发送短信,实在不失为一种上策。
近日,在重庆如意志爱工作组、金时雨商贸有限公司联合举办的捐赠手机防艾活动中,防艾小组的成员们首次接受到金时雨公司刘刚先生爱心捐赠的400部手机,这些手机将由志愿者们选择性的发送到艾滋病高危人群手里,并在今后的工作中,定期为这些“受机”者发送防艾短信。
据重庆市疾病预防控制中心副所长丁贤彬介绍,2004年重庆发现第一例因“同志”关系而感染艾滋病的案例,如此同时艾滋病发病患者中,20%的人群亦均为“同志”,自此同志成为重庆预防和干预的重点人群。多年以来,重庆防艾志愿者们一直在行动,他们深入到同志酒吧、同志浴室免费发放避孕套、并宣传防艾知识,他们无私的奉献精神让人们敬佩。但是志愿者们在深入一线的同时,也就意味着和风险并存,他们当中感染艾滋的人不在少数。而现在使用手机定向发送短信必将为降低风险做出不可估量的作用!
本次活动的组织者、重庆如意志爱工作组负责人欧阳告诉记者,目前他们志愿小组干预的人群除了男男同志干预外,主要还涉及以下几类:如性工作者、嫖客、吸毒者以及已经感染了艾滋病的患者等。这些干预活动将一直并长期进行下去,多性伴及性行为本身的特殊性造成艾滋病在中国同志人群(gay)中快速蔓延。谈起这些存在的暗在危机,欧阳不无忧虑。
做志愿者生活很辛苦
记者和志愿者们交流中得知,同志’圈子非常严密,一般人根本不可能介入。由于社会和家庭的不理解、男性同性恋者自身也很保密,他们的性伴侣往往不是单一的,有时甚至互不认识。在这样的情况下,定期进行HIV检测,在性行为中采取安全措施,非常重要。
社会的不宽容产生了多方面的不良后果:首先迫使同性恋者进入传统婚姻,造成家庭悲剧。另外,这种情况使同性恋者进入 ‘地下’,这也是导致同性恋者中艾滋病流行的一个重要原因。
欧阳说:志愿者们要做的就是不断的深入并取得他们的信任。做志愿者已经成了我的生活方式。我会选择和众多的志愿者们继续前行。

Great Yu-net inquiry: AIDS in the past members of voluntary groups promote the use of the means to interfere with the field of AIDS, volunteers visited more than bars, bathhouses and other comrades of a higher concentration of high-risk places艾科普anti-publicity, as well as volunteers who would the potential risk of infection, and the use of mobile phones targeted for high-risk groups to send text messages, it can be regarded as a best option.
Recently, in Chongqing, such as the working group will love, Kim Yu-commerce Co., Ltd. jointly sponsored AIDS activities in the cell phone donation, AIDS group members received the first rain when the company donated by Mr. Liu Gang Love 400 mobile phones, These phones will be selective volunteers sent to the hands of high-risk groups of AIDS, and in future work, regularly for these "by the machine" AIDS messages sent.
According to the Chongqing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention DING Xian-Bin, deputy director of the introduction, in 2004 the first cases in Chongqing, "Comrade," the relationship between HIV infection cases, and so at the same time AIDS patients, 20% of the population also are "comrades", then Chongqing comrades become the focus of prevention and intervention groups. Over the years, the Chongqing AIDS Action volunteers have been, they went to a bar comrades, Comrade bathroom condoms distributed free of charge, and to promote AIDS knowledge and their dedication and selfless people admire. However, in-depth front-line volunteers at the same time, and risk means both of them more than a few people infected with HIV. And now use mobile phones to send text messages will be targeted to reduce risk to an immeasurable role!
The organizers of this event, Chongqing will love working groups such as the person in charge Ouyang told reporters that they interfere with the voluntary group of people in addition to gay men and intervention, the principal is also involved in the following categories: such as sex workers, clients, drug addicts, as well as have been infected with the AIDS patients. These interventions have been and will continue long-term, multi-sexual partners and sex specificity of their comrades in China caused by AIDS groups (gay) quickly spread. These exist in the dark about the crisis, Ouyang are not without worries.
Life is very hard to do volunteer
The exchange of journalists and volunteers in that Comrade 'circle is very tight, most people simply can not intervene. As a result of social and family do not understand their own homosexual men are confidential, and their sexual partners is often not a single, and sometimes do not know each other. Under such circumstances, regular HIV testing, safety measures taken in the sexual behavior is very important.
Intolerance of society have had a wide range of negative consequences: First of all, to force homosexuals to enter traditional marriage, resulting in family tragedies. In addition, such a situation to make homosexuals into the 'underground', which is homosexual AIDS epidemic in one of the major reasons.
Ouyang said: volunteers have to do is keep the depth and gain their trust. I do volunteer has become a way of life. I would choose a large number of volunteers and journey.
