中新社北京7月18日电 (吴旭 杨晨颖)由国际艾滋病协会举办的第6届世界艾滋病大会于当地时间17日晚在罗马召开。与会的医疗专家、研究人员针对防止艾滋病病毒(HIV)扩散，HIV唾液快速检测方法的使用等问题进行讨论，探寻艾滋病治疗的突破口并发出倡议：在未来10年内努力实现人类治愈艾滋病的梦想。
抗艾滋病斗争实现最新突破
联合国艾滋病规划署近日在日内瓦发布公报称，一些治疗HIV病毒的药物同时也有助于防止人们感染这种病毒。联合国艾滋病规划署执行主任米歇尔·西迪贝将之称为“抗艾滋病斗争的重要突破”。
此前的一项研究已显示服用抗逆转录病毒药物能降低男同性恋者之间传播HIV病毒的风险。美国华盛顿大学国际临床研究中心新的实验则显示，每天口服该药在异性恋者中也有效。美国疾病控制和预防中心在博茨瓦纳1219名男女中也进行了同样的实验，未感染病毒者服用此药物，感染病毒的风险会降低63%。
30年抗争成效显著
1981年6月，美国疾病控制和预防中心确认了第一例艾滋病的存在。此后，艾滋病在全球不断泛滥。据统计，目前全世界已经有约6000万人感染了艾滋病毒，3000万人死于艾滋病。
法新社援引联合国艾滋病规划署的数据称，在过去的30年里，药物治疗拯救了500万艾滋病人的生命，病毒感染率下降了20%。通过母婴传播的儿童艾滋病感染率2009年较2007年下降了18%。目前，已有520万人在接受药物治疗，而在2004年这一数据仅为70万。
防治之路任重道远
据统计，全球每天有7000人新感染艾滋病毒，当1人开始接受治疗的同时又有3人被感染，平均每25秒就有1人死于艾滋病。而妇女和儿童是最大受害者，每分钟都有1名被感染的婴儿诞生。联合国艾滋病规划署执行主任米歇尔·西迪贝表示，虽然艾滋病人的生活质量及医疗条件相对30年前都有了极大的提高，但艾滋病防治工作仍然任重道远。
此外，受观念、社会环境等因素影响至今仍有许多人不愿接受检查，使得相当高比例的人群不清楚自己是否患病，给防治工作带来极大困难。美国《圣荷西信使报》援引疾病控制和预防中心托马斯R·弗里登博士的话称，人们应该重视艾滋病监测，同时要了解自己伴侣的健康状况。(完)
