可治疗艾滋病的“抗反转录病毒”药物。
 

  中新网2月23日电 据香港《大公报》二十三日报道,南非流行病学专家表示,通过对艾滋病高风险区内的所有人进行筛检,以及立即治疗所有对艾滋病毒呈阳性反应的带原者,蔓延全球的艾滋病或许能在五年内受到控制,甚至在四十年后绝迹。

 

  全球现时有三千三百万人感染了艾滋病,但只有一成多点有服用抗艾滋病药物。根据世卫的指引,医生是根据病人体内病毒细胞数量决定是否处方药物。

  南非流行病学专家威廉斯教授则表示及早发现、及早用药,对阻止艾滋病传播有重要作用。他指,抗艾滋病药可以大幅减少病人血液中的病毒数量,传染力会降低十倍。

  威廉斯表示,以“抗反转录病毒”(anti-retroviral)药物进行普遍性治疗,不仅能拯救成千上万条人命,还能减少HIV带原者感染他人的机会,进而避免HIV传播。

  他在美国圣地亚哥举行的美国科学促进学会大会上表示,此种疗法起初花费甚高,光是在南非一年就至少需要三十亿美元,但能大幅降低照护艾滋病人的费用,并减少死亡导致的经济损失。南非地区即将进行两场随机的普遍性治疗试验,世界卫生组织(WHO)表示,倘若试验成功,将会支持。

  威廉斯说,对近一年内感染的HIV带原者施以抗反转录病毒治疗,可将此人把HIV传染给他人的机率降低十倍;如此一来,每名HIV带原者平均感染不到一个人,而艾滋病可能就此绝迹。反转录病毒药物在控制HIV上相当有效,使得有能力取得这种药物的开发中国家HIV带原者的死亡率极低,但全球目前仅百分之十二的HIV带原者服用此药物。

Treat AIDS, "anti-retroviral" drugs.
BEIJING, February 23, according to Xinhua Hong Kong "Ta Kung Pao" on the 23rd South African epidemiologist, said the AIDS high-risk area by the owner to conduct screening and immediate treatment for all HIV-positive The carrier, the spread of AIDS around the world may be able to brought under control within five years, even forty years after the extinction.

There are 33 million people worldwide infected with AIDS, but only one has taken into a multi-point anti-AIDS drugs. According to the WHO guidelines, the doctor is based on the patient's body to decide whether the virus cell count prescription drugs.

South African epidemiologist, Professor Williams said the early detection, early drug use, to prevent the spread of AIDS has an important role. He was referring to, anti-AIDS drugs can dramatically reduce the amount of virus in the blood of patients, infectious will reduce the ten-fold.

Williams said that the "anti-retroviral" (anti-retroviral) drugs, the universality of treatment can not only save thousands of lives, but also reduce the HIV carriers infected with the opportunity to others and thus to avoid HIV transmission.

He was held in Santiago, the United States in the United States the Advancement of Science Society Conference, said the high cost of such treatment at first, a year in South Africa alone needs at least 3 billion U.S. dollars, but it can significantly reduce the cost of caring for AIDS patients and to reduce the deaths caused economic losses. South Africa is going to hold two randomized treatment trials of the universality of the World Health Organization (WHO) said that if the trial is successful, will support.

Williams said that for the past year were infected with HIV-carriers to impose anti-retroviral treatment, she may be the chance of HIV transmission to others to reduce ten-fold; In this way, each an average infection of HIV carriers is not to a person, but AIDS may thus become extinct. Anti-retroviral drugs to control HIV on a very effective, making it the ability to obtain such drugs in developing countries the mortality rate of HIV carriers is very low, but currently only 12 percent of the world's HIV carriers are receiving this medication.
