艾滋病药物新突破 杀菌胶可避免妇女感染HIV

南非医学研究会(MRC)9日发表研究报告称,由该会艾滋病病毒(HIV)预防研究部针对3000多名妇女进行的为期3年半的临床研究表明,一种名为PRO2000的女性用杀菌胶可以有效地让妇女避免感染HIV,这是世界首次有人体临床试验证明,杀菌胶可以防止HIV从男性传染给女性。
杀菌胶是一种妇女专用的胶状、泡沫状或者乳霜状的药剂,妇女在发生性行为前使用该杀菌胶,可以防止感染HIV。目前,在世界范围内的HIV感染者中,女性占据一半;而在撒哈拉以南非洲的成人HIV感染者中,女性占据60%%。
从2005年2月至2008年9月,来自南非、津巴布韦、马拉维、赞比亚和美国5个国家的3099名妇女参与了此次临床试验。试验分为4组,有2组分别使用杀菌胶BufferGel和杀菌胶PRO2000(0.5%%剂量),另外2组分别使用安慰胶以及不使用杀菌胶作为对比。结果表明,BufferGel基本上起不到预防HIV感染的作用,而PRO2000可以使HIV感染率下降30%%。
南非MRC艾滋病病毒预防研究部主任基塔?拉姆吉教授说:“科学家一直在寻找一种能够保护妇女、从根本上减少新的HIV感染的安全有效的杀菌胶,经过十多年的研究,我们终于看到曙光。针对PRO2000进行的试验表明,利用杀菌胶来预防HIV的传播是行得通的。”(记者李学华)

South African Medical Research Council (MRC) 9 day, said a research report published by the AIDS virus (HIV) prevention research department for more than 3,000 women conducted by a period of 3 and a half years of clinical studies have shown that a woman named PRO2000 with bactericidal glue can effectively enable women to avoid contracting HIV, which is the world's first human clinical trials have proved that the sterilization of plastic to prevent HIV transmission from men to women.
Bactericidal plastic is a dedicated women's jelly, foam-like or cream-like pharmaceutical, women having sex before the use of the sterilization of plastic, can prevent infection HIV. At present, the world's HIV-infected persons, women occupy half; Sub-Saharan Africa in adult HIV-infected persons, women occupy 60%%.
From February 2005 to September 2008, from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia and the United States five countries 3099 women participated in the clinical trials. Test divided into 4 groups, 2 groups were the use of disinfection and sterilization BufferGel plastic glue PRO2000 (0.5%% dose), the other 2 groups, respectively, the use of comfort as well as non-use of plastic as compared bactericidal plastic. The results show that, BufferGel basically not serve any role in the prevention of HIV infection, while HIV infection rates PRO2000 can drop by 30%%.
MRC South Africa, HIV prevention, research director at Kitariko? Professor Ramji said: "The scientists have been able to find a protection of women, fundamentally the number of new HIV infection in a safe and effective sterilization of plastic, after ten years of research, we finally see the dawn. PRO2000 carried out against the tests showed that the use of bactericidal plastic to prevent the spread of HIV is feasible. "(Lee Journalist Xuehua)
