路透北京4月20日---一防治艾滋病组织周一表示，尽管中国政府为所有艾滋病患者提供免费治疗，但仍有部分艾滋病患儿，尤其是来自农村家庭的患儿因贫困支付不起费用而没有得到治疗。
该组织称，有些家庭甚至不知道有艾滋病免费治疗项目。
亚洲促进会（Asia Catalyst）总监萨拉・戴维斯（Sara Davis）说：“中国在抗击艾滋病方面取得了巨大的进步，但许多艾滋病患儿没有得到正确的治疗。”
在中国可能有高达一万名感染艾滋病毒的儿童，大多数是因输液感染病毒或母婴传染。他们大多集中在河南省和云南省。
2005年，官方公布的受母亲传染的艾滋病患儿有9,000例。其中很多患儿活不到五岁，且通常未被查出患病。有些患儿居住地离医院太远而得不到有效救治，而因为医院和学校害怕传染，一些患儿无法入院或上学。
中国政府许诺为艾滋病患者提供免费药物治疗，但很多贫困家庭支付不起其它相关费用，或是并发症的治疗费用。
政府为治疗艾滋病免费提供四种一线抗病毒药物，但很多患者已经产生抗药性。亚洲促进会呼吁中国政府扩大额外医疗费用补助的覆盖面，提供更便宜的二线抗病毒药物。（完）
