新华网约翰内斯堡８月１８日电综述：女性仍是南非艾滋病最大受害者
新华网记者李建民
南非是全球艾滋病感染率最高的国家，而女性受到的影响尤其严重。据南非医学研究理事会公布的数字，南非２５岁至２９岁女性的艾滋病病毒感染率超过３０％。这导致南非每年新生儿中艾滋病病毒感染者超过７万。如今，艾滋病已经成为南非婴儿死亡率居高不下的元凶。
在南非，女性之所以会成为艾滋病的主要受害者，主要原因之一是针对妇女的暴力行为，特别是性暴力非常普遍。
在日前举行的一项大规模调查中，超过四成的南非男子承认曾经对自己的女性伙伴使用过暴力，而超过２５％的男性承认曾经有过强奸行为。专家认为，南非妇女权益得不到根本保障，强奸和家庭暴力事件居高不下，这是导致南非艾滋病流行的主要原因之一。
为深入研究男性伴侣暴力行为和男女权利不平等对艾滋病传播的影响，南非医学研究理事会朱克斯教授领导的研究小组花费２年时间，对１０００多名南非年轻女性进行调查。结果发现，在男女关系中处于弱势的女性感染艾滋病病毒的几率要比处于强势的女性高很多。此外，受到暴力虐待的女性感染艾滋病病毒的几率也要比没有受到暴力虐待的女性高。
这项研究的重要结论是，通过改善男女间性别不平等，可以使艾滋病病毒感染者人数减少１３．９％。然而，实现男女平等是一项艰巨任务，因为它涉及南非几千年流传下来的文化、习俗。南非男性和女性受教育的权利非常不平等，这就导致女性在日后生活中很难摆脱弱势地位。
朱克斯认为，为改变这一现状，创建一个性别平等的文化尤为重要。教育和法律知识的普及也是必不可少的手段。
南非医学研究理事会呼吁，在今后的艾滋病预防工作中，建立性别平等和防止伴侣暴力行为应该成为重点。

JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 18 Xinhua: Women still are the biggest victims of AIDS in South Africa
Xinhua reporter Li Jianmin
South Africa is the world's highest AIDS infection rate, while women suffered particularly severely affected. According to the South African Medical Research Council figures released by the South African 25-year-old to 29-year-old female HIV infection rates over 30%. This led to newborns each year in South Africa infected with HIV more than 70,000. Today, AIDS has become South Africa's high infant mortality rate culprit.
In South Africa, the reason why women will become the main victims of AIDS, one of the major acts of violence against women, especially sexual violence is widespread.
In the recently held a large-scale survey, more than 4 percent of South African men have admitted their female partners who used violence, and more than 25% of men admitted that there have been rape. Experts believe that South Africa can not simply protect the rights of women, rape and domestic violence remains high, this is a one of the main South African AIDS epidemic.
For further study of male partner violence and unequal rights for men and the impact on the spread of AIDS, the South African Medical Research Council Professor Zhu Kesi-led research team spent two years on more than 1,000 young women in South Africa to investigate. It was found that male and female relations at the weak risk of HIV infection in women than in women is much higher strength. In addition, by the violent abuse of women infected with HIV is not likely to have been subjected to violence than the females.
Important conclusions of this study is that gender inequality between men and women through improved, can reduce the number of HIV infected persons 13.9%. However, the achievement of gender equality is a difficult task because it involves thousands of years handed down by the South African culture, customs. South African men and women the right to education is very unequal, which lead to women later in life is difficult to escape inferior position.
Jukes that to change this situation, create a culture of gender equality is particularly important. Education and legal knowledge is also indispensable tool.
South African Medical Research Council called for AIDS prevention in the future, the establishment of gender equality and the prevention of partner violence should be the focus.
