新华网兰州8月22日专电(记者黄文新、肖正强)为了让外出务工人员了解预防艾滋病的基本知识,甘肃省红十字会组织志愿者踏上了进疆的“采棉专列”。
今年,甘肃预计将有20余万农民工陆续进疆采棉,由于长时间离开家庭生活,加之采棉期间手头经济较为宽裕,如果不了解艾滋病预防知识,发生不安全性行为的概率将会增加。此次甘肃省红十字会联合兰州铁路局,组织22名志愿者从“采棉专列”的始发站天水站开始,进入候车室、登上列车车厢,以问卷调查、发放安全套、发放宣传手册以及小礼品的方式,在彩棉工中间普及艾滋病的预防知识。
据了解,截至6月底,甘肃疾控部门统计的艾滋病感染者人数累计达到820例。甘肃省艾滋病感染者数量近年呈逐年上升的趋势,与2008年新发现216例的数字相比,2009年上半年已经确定了138例。
感染者当中,传播途径也由吸毒共用注射器为主转为以性传播为主,其中农民、民工和无业人员占到了三分之二。由于相对缺乏生理、心理和卫生知识,所以,在这部分人群当中宣传艾滋病的预防知识就显得非常重要。
