探访南非艾滋病医院 淘金者天堂里被遗忘的角落
来源：四川新闻网-成都晚报 2010年06月30日10:09
据统计，南非4000万人口，每10人中便有2人携带艾滋病原或已罹患艾滋病。在许多人眼里，艾滋病与黄金、钻石一样，是南非的关键词之一。记者昨日便来到“世界最大贫民窟”索维托的南部，全世界最大的急症医院——Baragwanath医疗中心，这里有约堡最集中的艾滋病孩童看护中心，这里隐藏着一个鲜为人知的世界。
春天已将它久久遗忘？
350万黑人，就这一所公立医院
这里是地道的黑人区，没有一张白人或黄种人的面孔，直到记者出现。医院门卫见记者持旅游签证，并不放行，直到“内线”出现及时“通融”，记者才获准进入。即便如此，记者仍被再三告知，院内绝不允许拍照，尤其不允许拍摄病患，否则后果自负。
BARA有429座楼房。除了新盖的门诊大楼，大多都是一层高的红砖矮平房。平房门口简单地挂着号牌，“1号病房，2号病房……”实验室在一处高地上，落地玻璃让一切格外通透。屋内，坐着等候的人们，脸色有些焦灼。他们都在等待领取自己的HIV报告单。如今，这成为免费的检查项目。“只要你有贫困证明，X光和MRI也都可免费。”内线人士介绍说，通常的收费，约100兰特。
根据收入及婚姻状况分类，约80%的病人被认定为“医院病人”，挂号费在13兰特至39兰特不等。每月再交纳129兰特，便能接受一切治疗。妇产科病人及6岁以下儿童，都可接受免费治疗。“比起以往，一切都在积极地改进。”自从南非成为全世界拥有最多艾滋病人的国家之后，人们一度否认真相，以为拒绝承认，便能逆转事实：“甚至还有传言，HIV并非导致艾滋病的病毒。”医生们罢工了，“我们不能眼睁睁看着大众被蒙蔽。我们能做的仍然有限，但至少我们守护着病人。他们并不是没有希望的。”据官方统计，索维托有350万黑人（真实数目远远超过），只有这一所公立医院。
爱心已将它久久遗忘？
艾滋病童被家人虐待 医生愤怒
马鲁卡8岁了，一出生就是HIV病毒携带者。那张被白色铁栅栏围起的小床，显然已塞不下他。他正坐着，身后没有绵软的靠垫，皮包骨头的身躯直接贴上冰冷的栏杆。他眯眼看着电视，目不转睛，荷兰与斯洛伐克的比赛。
BARA是人民的医院，设施齐全，但绝不豪华。全民皆世界杯的日子，有医生从家里带来迷你电视，让大孩子们看球。马鲁卡最喜欢的是“男孩，男孩”，“他们出局了，现在我支持巴西。”说话有些吃力，他却总是努力微笑，试图讨好周围所有人。完全脱形的瘦削的面庞，显出牙床的宽阔。
下午3时至4时半，是家属探访时间。马鲁卡的床边没有人。他只是和电视机里的足球作伴。“你踢得好吗？”他又笑了，似乎在记忆里搜寻什么，“以前踢过足球。”那该是很早以前的事了。这是马鲁卡第二次被送到医院，都是相同的症状。“他的身上只有骨头，”医生卡莱尔几乎有些激愤，“第一次来时也这样，我们给他补充了营养液，他稍微增加了些体重，然后就出院了。”第二次入院时，他的身体呈现可怖的蜡黄色，“当你的肝脏停止工作，只因为没有人给你食物，让你维持生命，这是怎样一种虐待？！”
马鲁卡的父母很穷？这几乎是所有人的反应。“不，绝不。”来医院时，其母打扮入时，“她的头发，衣服，妆容都精心修饰，人们都会觉得她来自中产阶级。”抚育孩子的责任，在此地常被视作尘土。医生们替马鲁卡痛心，找到社工要求把他移送政府监管。但据规定，类似情况发生3次，相关部门才能剥夺父母的抚养权。马鲁卡为荷兰队的射门叫好，声音有些虚弱。他的主治医生克里斯蒂一声叹息，“不知他第三次被送来时，是否能活着离开。”

艾滋病小偷使坏 反扒队员奋不顾身
2010-06-28 05:50:00 来源: 钱江晚报(杭州)
已是深夜10点多了，湖滨派出所协警大队突然热闹起来。“太值得敬佩了，我怎么也得连夜送过来。”一位女士特地从城西打的赶过来，手拿锦旗，感谢反扒队员。“帮她抓了偷手机的贼，怎么会如此激动呢？”
“抓的时候我们不知道，其中一名小偷得了艾滋病，身上都已溃烂了。”在一旁的反扒队员王连国说，傍晚时候，他和队员在长生路与东坡路交叉口发现两名可疑者，一男一女，男的看上去只有20岁出头，女的应该有30多岁了。
“两人肯定是刚偷到手机，正在处理手机上证据，销毁SIM卡。于是我和队员便追上去，将两人抓了。”对方交了手机后，队员准备将其押送派出所。“这两个人脸色十分难看，好像生了重病的样子，其中那个男的身上有多处溃烂。”王连国说，就在队员带他们到派出所路上时，那个男的拼命抓身上的溃烂处，然后往反扒队员身上抹。凭经验，队员们知道两人可能患病，于是迅速将其制服。
果然，押到派出所后他们除了交代偷手机的过程外，承认自己患了艾滋病。令队员们感到庆幸的是，他们身上都没有伤口，再就是大家动作较快，迅速控制，否则后果难于设想。
反扒队员们从手机卡上得到了杨女士的信息，于是通知她来领取手机。得知抓获这两个小偷背后有如此惊险的事情发生，杨女士决定连夜上门感谢。
