AIDS is a disease caused by a virus called HIV (short for human immunodeficiency virus). HIV attacks the body's immune system. When the immune system is hurt, it can no longer fight diseases the way it used to. It `s alternative names is acquired immune deficiency syndrome. People with HIV seem to be healthy at first. But after several years, they begin to get sick. Often they get serious infections or cancers. When this happens_prolonged, unexplained fatigue; swollen glands (lymph nodes); fever lasting more than 10 days; chills and so on, they are diagnosed with AIDS. AIDS is the final and most serious stage of HIV disease. It is characterized by signs and symptoms of severe immune deficiency. The most common cause of death in people with AIDS is a type of pneumonia called pneumocystis carinii pneumonia or PCP. There is no cure for AIDS at this time. However, treatments are available that can improve the quality of life of those suffering the infection. In traditional Chinese medicine, AIDS is considered as a disease that HIV takes advantage of transient deficiency of human body and invades, such as frequent sexual intercourse to consume vital Qi, which leads to Kidney deficiency and cannot preserve essence, the deficiency of vitality causes pathogen -evil invasion.

By 1982 the disease had appeared in 24 states, 471 cases had been diagnosed, 184 people had died, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta had termed the outbreak an epidemic. AIDS has challenged the authority and integrity of respected medical institutions, strained the capacity of the health care system, forced the reevaluation of sexual mores, and tapped reservoirs of fear, prejudice, and compassion within individuals and communities

On 5 June 1981, the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published an article by Dr. Michael Gottlieb of the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine, describing five cases of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in young homosexual men. A second MMWR article on 4 July documented ten additional cases of PCP, as well as twenty-six cases of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), a rare skin cancer, in young homosexual males in New York City and San Francisco. PCP is normally seen only in patients with immune dysfunction and KS in elderly men. Under the direction of James Curran, the CDC began to investigate, hypothesizing that the young men were suffering from an immune-system deficiency related to their lifestyle. In early August, however, CDC staff identified the strange "gay plague" in heterosexual intravenous drug users in New York City. In the first six months of 1982, cases were reported among hemophiliacs receiving blood components, Haitian refugees, and infants born to drug-using mothers. Transmission through blood transfusion was documented in June. Although physicians had named the outbreak gay-related immune deficiency (GRID), many suspected a viral infection transmissible through sexual contact or blood transfusion rather than a lifestyle-related disease; some proposed a multifactor etiology. At a meeting in July, the CDC coined the term "AIDS," which became accepted usage for the several related disorders. More than 1,000 Americans had been diagnosed with AIDS by early 1983; of those, 394 had died. Although the CDC had identified instances in which the infection had been transmitted through blood transfusion, the Red Cross and major blood banks refused to institute rigorous screening, which was costly and might discourage donors. In March 1983, the CDC and the Public Health Service, concerned about the risk of infection, issued a statement naming four "high-risk" groups of donors, advising them not to give blood and to avoid sexual contact. This warning, together with a May article in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggesting the possibility of infection through casual contact, heightened media and public awareness, intensified fears, and prompted ostracism of people with AIDS (PWAs). Some health care workers refused to treat PWAs. In many areas, moral objections blocked inexpensive control measures, such as condom distribution and sterile-needle exchanges for drug users. Researchers, including Robert Gallo at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, and Luc Montagnier at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, attempted to identify and characterize the viral agent that caused AIDS. By January 1984, Gallo's laboratory had cultured twenty samples of a virus he named HTLV-III, believing it related to the human T-cell leukemia virus he had isolated in 1980. In February 1984, Montagnier's group reported their discovery of lymphadenopathy-associated virus (LAV), which they asserted was the AIDS virus. Their work was confirmed by Donald Francis at the CDC. Genetic testing established that LAV and HTLV-III were nearly identical. Gallo and Margaret Heckler, Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced on 23 April 1984, however, that the National Cancer Institute had found the AIDS virus and had developed an antibody test for blood screening, clinical testing, and diagnosis. An international committee renamed the virus HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) in late 1986. Shortly thereafter, President Ronald Reagan and France's President Jacques Chirac announced that the Pasteur Institute and the National Cancer Institute would share credit for the discovery and royalties from the patented blood test. (Later probes of possible misappropriation of the French virus by Gallo and his lab assistant Mikulas Popovic were dropped in 1993.) Isolation of the virus confirmed AIDS as an acute infectious disease, encouraging research into vaccines

and therapeutic drugs. Lack of money hampered work, however. The Reagan administration was unwilling to initiate expensive programs to control a disease associated with homosexuality and drug use. Individual congressmen, including Phillip Burton of San Francisco and Henry A. Waxman of Los Angeles, together with Assistant Secretary for Health Edward Brandt, pushed f or supplemental AIDS funding in 1983 and 1984, with limited success. Organizations such as the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York and Mathilde Krim's AIDS Medical Foundation (AMF) provided funds, but support for research remained inadequate. The burden of care for AIDS patients, many without private insurance, fell on state and local governments and on volunteers largely drawn from the gay community. Many gay men and lesbians initially resisted involvement with the "gay plague," which threatened to deepen the stigma attached to homosexuality. Others resented public-health warnings to alter sexual practices. Gay organizations fought both universal antibody-screening and the closing of public bathhouses in New York and San Francisco, which authorities saw as reservoirs of infection. At the same time gay groups provided support, patient care, and money to PWAs, including those who were not gay. Gay men volunteered as research subjects in community-based drug trials organized by local physicians and developed patient networks that circulated experimental and imported drugs to treat PWAs suffering from opportunistic infections such as PCP and cytomegalovirus. Gay leaders lobbied for more money. A few risked community ostracism by becoming public advocates for safer sexual practices. Although hampered by lack of money from the federal government, research into therapeutic drugs did produce results. In early 1985, Samuel Broder at the National Cancer Institute and other researchers confirmed that the compound azidothymidine (AZT), developed by the pharmaceutical firm Burroughs-Wellcome, appeared active against the AIDS virus in laboratory cultures. The FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) quickly approved the manufacturer's plan for clinical trials and facilitated release to the market in 1987, although the efficacy trial lasted only seven months. The AIDS Clinical Trial Network, established by the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), developed protocols to test AZT in patient groups at hospitals across the country. Burroughs-Wellcome put AZT on the market in February 1987, at the price of $188 per 10,000 milligrams; the annual cost of the drug for some patients was reported to be $8,000 or higher. Although harshly criticized, the company waited until December before dropping the price 20 percent. While NIAID pursued AZT trials, physicians and patients were trying other compounds to slow the disease or treat opportunistic infections. The FDA gave low priority to several compounds, such as AL721 and HPA23. In the case of others, such as the Syntex compound ganciclovir, PWAs received the drug at cost for several years under a compassionate use protocol. The FDA then required a blind comparison with a placebo before ganciclovir could be marketed, but few PWAs were willing to enroll in a placebo trial after they already had used an experimental compound or if they feared rapid progression of their disease. Investigators in the NIAID-endorsed AZT trials experienced difficulty recruiting subjects. Gay AIDS activists sought access to more drugs, access to information about trials, trial protocols that recognized patient needs and risks, inclusion of minority PWAs in trials, and PWA participation in development and testing.

The small group Treatment and Data Subcommittee (later the Treatment Action Group), led by Iris Long, James Eigo, and Mark Harrington, created a registry of clinical trials and gave testimony to the President's Commission and at congressional hearings. At the request of President George H. W. Bush, the clinical-trial authority Louis Lasagna held hearings in 1989 on new drug approval procedures. The hearings accentuated lack of progress by the FDA and NIAID and provided a forum for Eigo and Harrington to present their program. Anthony Fauci, director of NIAID an d a target of ACT UP criticism, met with activists and backed a new parallel track for community-based, nonplacebo drug trials. The parallel track system was in operation by early 1990, but the concept remained controversial as it competed for money and trial subjects with conventional controlled trials. President Bush in 1990 appointed David Kessler as FDA commissioner, who quickly gained a reputation for activism and endorsed parallel track. By 1991, the character of AIDS in the United States had changed again. Although incidence was increasing in all population groups, rates were most rapid among the poor, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and women and children. Health care providers, researchers, and PWAs no longer defined the epidemic as an acute infectious disease responsive to early aggressive intervention. They recognized AIDS as a chronic disease characterized by a lengthy virus incubation (up to eleven years); onset of active infection possibly related to medical or lifestyle cofactors; an extended course involving multiple infectious episodes; and the need for flexible treatment with a variety of drugs as well as long-term supportive services. Despite this progress, however, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, AIDS still remained a fatal disease and an effective vaccine was still years away. As of 31 December 1984, 7,699 PWAs had been diagnosed and almost half of them were dead. Although the disease was taking a heavy toll among gay white males, more than half the cases now were nonwhite persons, including many women and children. The First International AIDS Conference, held in Atlanta in April 1985, made public much new clinical information. Participants debated screening programs advocated by the Reagan administration and public-health experts but opposed by gays and other potentially stigmatized groups. Conference reports contributed to increased fear and concern in 1985, which intensified when the country learned that the actor Rock Hudson was dying of AIDS. Shortly thereafter, the news that a school in Kokomo, Indiana, had denied a young PWA named Ryan White the right to attend school with his classmates epitomized Americans' fear of and aversion to the disease. Attitudes were changing, however. Hudson's death in October shocked Hollywood, which was heavily affected by the disease. The American Foundation for AIDS Re-search, supported by a Hudson bequest, merged with Krim's AMF to form AmFAR, which attracted support from such celebrities as Elizabeth Taylor. Ryan White was accepted by another Indiana school and became a national symbol of courage before his death in 1990. In October 1986, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop broke with the Reagan administration with a bluntly worded report on the epidemic, calling for sex education in schools, widespread use of condoms, and voluntary antibody testing. Koop's report followed statements from the Public Health Service and the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine that described the administration's response to AIDS as inadequate. President Reagan in 1987 created the President's Commission on the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Epidemic and shortly afterward spoke at the Third International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C.

Public attitudes toward PWAs had gradually shited from discrminaion ad fear to compassion and acceptanoe,but the burdensome costs of treatment and services were a challenge to the national will.In one example,the Comprehensive AlDS Resource Emergency Act of 1990,often called the Ryan White Act authorized s2 9 billion for areas of high incidence.it passed both houses of Conaress with enthusiastic bipartisan support but a few months later budget negotiations reduced the money drastically dOn 5Octobe Congress approved an increase of $227 million in support,bringing the 1994 total to $1.3 billion.Fuliing a campaig promise,President Bill Clinton created the position of national AlDS policy coordinator and appointed Kristine Gebbie to the post.In 1994.after lobbying by PWAs and researchers,he appointed the NIAID immunobiologist William Paul to head the Office of AlDS Research,with full budgetary authority.As of January 1996.The AmFAR HNV/AIDS Treatment Directory listed 77 dinical trial intecionand141potoce oppor nty-one dru available to patients through compassionate use or expanded access protocols.Researchers held ou hope that the disease woud prove susceptible to new aoents used in combination with AZT and its relatives,ddl and ddo.Many trials,however,continued to have difficulty recruiting patients and some ommuniy-based trialswere hreatened bybudgetcuts.

announcement that he had contracted HIV through unprotected heterosexual sex, followed by the tennis player Arthur Ashe's disclosure five months later that he had AIDS as a result of a blood transfussion during bypass surgery, helped transform the public image of AIDS to a disease that reached beyond the gay community. In late 1993, public concern for PWAs was reflected in critical acclaim for the film Philadelphia and the stage play Angels in America, both of which examined the personal and social consequences of AIDS. Public attitudes toward PWAs had gradually shifted from discrimination and fear to compassion and acceptance, but the burdensome costs of treatment and services were a challenge to the national will. In one example, the Comprehensive AIDS Resource Emergency Act of 1990, often called the Ryan White Act, authorized $2.9 billion for areas of high incidence. It passed both houses of Congress with enthusiastic bipartisan support but a few months later budget negotiations reduced the money drastically. Nevertheless, federal efforts to control the epidemic increased. On 5October 1993, Congress approved an increase of $227 million in support, bringing the 1994 total to $1.3 billion. Fulfilling a campaign promise, President Bill Clinton created the position of national AIDS policy coordinator and appointed Kristine Gebbie to the post. In 1994, after lobbying by PWAs and researchers, he appointed the NIAID immunobiologist William Paul to head the Office of AIDS Research, with full budgetary authority. As of January 1996, The AmFAR HIV/AIDS Treatment Directory listed 77 clinical trial protocols for HIV infection and 141 protocols for opportunistic infections and related disorders. Twenty-one drugs were available to patients through compassionate use or expanded access protocols. Researchers held out hope that the disease would prove susceptible to new agents used in combination with AZT and its relatives, ddl and ddo. Many trials, however, continued to have difficulty recruiting patients and some community-based trials were threatened by budget cuts. By the end of the twentieth century, more than 774,000 AIDS cases had been diagnosed in the United States, and almost 450,000 people had died of the disease. New treatments had lengthened lives and education had slowed transmission of the disease; nevertheless an estimated 110 people were being infected with HIV each day. And even though a remedy remained elusive, the sense of urgency in the fight against AIDS had waned. President George W. Bush appointed Scott Evertz as director of the Office of National AIDS Policy, but was slow to fill other key appointments to offices in the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services that dealt with AIDS research and policy. Bush created a White House Task Force on HIV/AIDS but in his first budget proposal did not recommend funding increases for domestic AIDS programs. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, AIDS had been brought under control in the United States through political action, intensive education, and expensive drug therapy. But the disease continued to ravage other parts of the world. By the end of 2001, 40 million people were living with HIV/AIDS, 95 percent of whom were in developing countries. The hardest hit area was Sub-Saharan Africa where 2.5 million people were dying each year. The Bush Administration's response to this global crisis was as mixed as its response to the domestic one. Secretary of State Colin Powell made global AIDS issues a priority, but Bush refused to sign a United Nations declaration on children's rights that supported sex education for teenagers. The United States joined several international efforts to halt the spread of the epidemic, including the International Partnership Against HIV/AIDS in Africa (IPAA), but its initial contribution to the UN Global Fund to finance responses to AIDS and other deadly infectious diseases

Despite the fairly large groups of HIV carriers and AIDS patients, the epidemic is mostly confined to high-risk groups, such as drug users, prostitutes and users of blood products. And it has yet to spread widely in the rest of the nation. The Chinese Government is well aware of such perspectives, and the central and local governments have allocated 6.8 billion yuan (US$822 billion) to establish and improve disease prevention and control mechanisms in provinces. Each year a special fund of more than 200 million yuan (US$24 million) is channeled into HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment. Since April, free medicine to poor AIDS patients has been delivered in regions hit hardest by the virus. Just as the impacts of AIDS reaches social and economic fields of society, effective prevention also requires united efforts from virtually all sectors. Key factors needed include public education, affordable drugs, medical training for healthcare workers in hospitals and the public health system, monitoring and evaluation, care for orphans, measures to stop mother-to-child transmission, a comprehensive care framework and research into vaccines and a cure. None of these things can be achieved with the single hand of any institution — not health officials, not medical workers or the government

谁是艾滋病的易感人群 人们经过研究分析,已清楚地发现了哪些人易志艾精,并把易枣艾滋病的这个人群统称为艾滋病易感高 危人群 称之为易感人群 的易感 人群主要是指男性同性恋志者、静脉吸毒成者、血友病志 者,接受输血及其它血制品者、 与以上高危人群有性关系者等。 1。男性同性恋患者 男性同性恋者,包括双重性生活者(指既有同性恋又有异性恋者)占全部艾避病病人的70%76%,在 芙国为75%。这类人的性关系混乱,常常大量使用非法的性刺激药物。与性活动频紧而未发生艾滋病的 男性同性恋者相比 发病的男样 性恋者具有较多的性伙作,他们习横于每调与5一10个不同的性 发生性行为,有些人的性伙件甚至更多,他们不但较多地使用非法药物,而且常有性病和腹泻病史,也朝 是说,艾滋病与同性恋现象密切相关。同性恋现象在西方社会已十分普遍,仅美国就有大钓800万男性 同性恋者,占美国成年男子总数的1/10左右,在西方一些国家的军营和监狱中,同性恋的发生率尤其 高,但终身同性恋者仅占国家总人口的4%但是另右研究发现同性恋议种独特的现兔,在世界冬地 有发生)不同文化背景中同性恋者所占的比例相差无几。中国的同性恋现象在多年隐藏之后也逐渐有所 披露。据说,在北京 公认的同性恋话动场所就有50多处,除公园外,厕所、绿草地 街心花园、公 浴池及某些酒吧、舞厅,也是同性恋者的活动场所。北京究竟有多少同性恋者尚不好回答,据一个经常出 入此场所的内行人"说,光他~见面眼热"的就有1000多.对我国同性恋者的多性伴侣现象统计结果显示: 在上海遐查了96名同性恋男子,平均每个人的同性性伴侣为7人,肛交和口交发生率分别为81%和60% 由于我国的传统道德观念:许多同性恋者都己结婚或正准备结姬,虽然他们并不愿意过异性恋生活。对 北京的51名男性同性恋者作问卷调查,发现其中的31人(占61%)有婚姻史 :职业构成比例为:51人 中,大专以上学历者14人:工人15人,行政干部14人,科技文艺工作者5入,农民及其他职业17人 年龄最大者70岁,最小者22岁。由国性恋行为染上艾溢病的实例在我国也有报导:1989年4月,北京 动和医院从一位梅毒病人的血清中检出艾滋病毒,经调查,该男性患者有同性恋史,曾与外国人发生过问 寒行为:这是从中国大陆同性恋者中发现的首例艾滋病病成者,日因种种原因,曾与此人有讨来 切性接触的同性恋者均未找到 据报导,美国旧金山娱乐区”的同性恋者血清艾滋病病 毒抗体阳性率从 1978年的不到1%上升到1980年的25%, 1986年又刷增到65%.在西方其他国家的同性恋者中艾滋 病发病情况也与美因相似,丹麦、芬兰、西德、英国、卢森堡等国的同性恋者中,艾滋病抗体阳性率为 60%~100%:在瑞典、都威为70%:在比利时、希腊、西班牙、意大利等国为50%。在同性恋者中 有如此高的艾溢病感染率,避怪人们称艾滋病是“同性恋嘉疫”。同性恋者易患艾游病的原因,一是可能 酸盐吸入作性刺激剂,而亚硝酸盐又是一种免疫抑制剂,使 性恋者免疫力异常 一情有铁生人质森:三华限北它温积史形及根贴,所清中的文海精度 用亚 受伤部位,进入同性恋者血液循环中:据有人分析:男性同性恋者被动的一方发生卡波济氏肉瘤的危陷 性比主动的一方大,三是因同性恋者过度的性放纵而造成大量精液流失,引起机体缺锌,由锌的缺失而造 成机体免疫功能下降。四是因同性恋者的性滥,常伴发其他性病。如梅毒、淋病、软下疳等。由于性病 引起皮肤、盐膜受损出血 增加了艾装病的感垫机会。五是相当一分同性恋著,又是静酰吸毒成者 因而增加了艾滋病的另一感染机会。所以说男性同性恋者是第一个最大的艾溢病传染易感人群 2.吸毒者 经静脉注射毒品成稳者钓占全部艾滋病病例的15%~17%,主要是因为他们在吸毒过程中反复使用了未经 消毒或消毒不彻底的注射器、针头,而其中被艾滋病毒污染的注射器具无疑造成了艾滋病在吸毒者中的 流行和传播,使吸毒著成为第二个最大的艾溢病危险人群。洪用成植性药物和毒品是艾滋病多发和流行 的一个重要原因。在欧关使用春品的风气盛行并逐渐蔓延到亚洲(特别是素),据关国家春品用 愿研究所最近作出的词查报告指出,在全美国2.4亿人口中,约有1亿人非法使用过毒品,有3000万 到4000万人经常使用一种或多种毒品,另有200万人经常使用迷幻药,而迷幻药可直接抑制免疫系统的 功能。在亚洲的泰国,估计有10万静脉吸毒者,其中75%在曼谷。有不少吸毒者同时又是同性恋者或
谁是艾滋病的易感人群 人们经过研究分析,已清楚地发现了哪些人易患艾滋病, 并把易患艾滋病的这个人群统称为艾滋病易感高 危人群,又 称之为易感人群。艾滋病的易感人群主要是指男性同性恋患 者、静脉吸毒成瘾者、血友病患 者,接受输血及其它血制品者、 与以上高危人群有性关系者等。 1.男性同性恋患者 男性同性恋者,包括双重性生活者(指既有同性恋又有异 性恋者)占全部艾滋病病人的 70%~76%,在 美国为 75%。这 类人的性关系混乱,常常大量使用非法的性刺激药物。与性活 动频繁而未发生艾滋病的 男性同性恋者相比,发病的男性同 性恋者具有较多的性伙伴,他们习惯于每周与 5~10 个不同 的性伴侣 发生性行为,有些人的性伙伴甚至更多,他们不但较 多地使用非法药物,而且常有性病和腹泻病史,也就 是说,艾 滋病与同性恋现象密切相关。同性恋现象在西方社会已十分 普遍,仅美国就有大约 800 万男性 同性恋者,占美国成年男子 总数的 1/10 左右,在西方一些国家的军营和监狱中,同性恋 的发生率尤其 高,但终身同性恋者仅占国家总人口的 4%。但 是另有研究发现,同性恋这种独特的现象,在世界各地均 有发 生)不同文化背景中同性恋者所占的比例相差无几。中国的同 性恋现象在多年隐藏之后也逐渐有所 披露。据说,在北京,公 认的同性恋活动场所就有 50 多处,除公园外,厕所、绿草地、 街心花园、公共 浴池及某些酒吧、舞厅,也是同性恋者的活动 场所。北京究竟有多少同性恋者尚不好回答,据一个经常出 入 此场所的“内行人”说,光他“见面眼熟”的就有 1000 多。对我 国同性恋者的多性伴侣现象统计结果显示: 在上海调查了 96 名同性恋男子,平均每个人的同性性伴侣为 7 人,肛交和口交 发生率分别为 81%和60%。 由于我国的传统道德观念;许多 同性恋者都已结婚或正准备结婚,虽然他们并不愿意过异性 恋生活。对 北京的 51 名男性同性恋者作问卷调查,发现其中 的 31 人(占 61%)有婚姻史;职业构成比例为:51 人 中,大专 以上学历者 14 人;工人 15 人,行政干部 14 人,科技文艺工作 者 5 入,农民及其他职业 17 人; 年龄最大者 70 岁,最小者 22 岁。由同性恋行为染上艾滋病的实例在我国也有报导:1989 年 4 月,北京 协和医院从一位梅毒病人的血清中检出艾滋病 毒,经调查,该男性患者有同性恋史,曾与外国人发生过同 性 恋行为:这是从中国大陆同性恋者中发现的首例艾滋病病毒 感染者,且因种种原因,曾与此人有过密 切性接触的同性恋者 均未找到。 据报导,美国旧金山“娱乐区”的同性恋者血清艾滋病病 毒抗体阳性率从 1978 年的不到 1%上升到 1980 年的 25%, 1986 年又剧增到 65%。在西方其他国家的同性恋者中艾滋 病 发病情况也与美国相似,丹麦、芬兰、西德、英国、卢森堡等国 的同性恋者中,艾滋病抗体阳性率为 60%~100%;在瑞典、 挪威为 70%;在比利时、希腊、西班牙、意大利等国为 50%。在 同性恋者中, 有如此高的艾滋病感染率,难怪人们称艾滋病是 “同性恋瘟疫”。 同性恋者易患艾滋病的原因,一是可能 因为同性恋者使 用亚硝酸盐吸入作性刺激剂,而亚硝酸盐又是一种免疫抑制 剂,使同性恋者免疫力异常, 艾滋病毒易侵入和使人发病;二是因直肠粘膜比其它组织更容易受损和出血,精液中的 艾滋病毒趁机侵入 受伤部位,进入同性恋者血液循环中;据有 人分析;男性同性恋者被动的一方发生卡波济氏 肉瘤的危险 性比主动的一方大,三是因同性恋者过度的性放 纵而造成大量精液流失,引起机体缺锌,由锌的缺失而造 成机 体免疫功能下降。四是因同性恋者的性滥,常伴发其他性病。 如梅毒、淋病、软下疳等,由于性病 引起皮肤、粘膜受损出血, 增加了艾滋病的感染机会。五是相当一部分同性恋者,又是静 脉吸毒成瘾者, 因而增加了艾滋病的另一感染机会。所以说男 性同性恋者是第一个最大的艾滋病传染易感人群。 2.吸毒者 经静脉注射毒品成瘾者约占全部艾滋病病例的 15%~17%,主要是因为他们在吸毒过程中反复使用了未经 消毒或 消毒不彻底的注射器、针头,而其中被艾滋病毒污染的注射器 具无疑造成了艾滋病在吸毒者中的 流行和传播,使吸毒者成 为第二个最大的艾滋病危险人群。 滥用成瘾性药物和毒品是艾滋病多发和流行 的一个重要 原因。在欧美使用毒品的风气盛行并逐渐蔓延到亚洲(特别是 泰国),据美国国家毒品滥用问 题研究所最近作出的调查报告 指出,在全美国 2.4 亿人口中,约有 1 亿人非法使用过毒品, 有 3000 万 到 4000 万人经常使用一种或多种毒品,另有 200 万人经常使用迷幻药,而迷幻药可直接抑制免疫系统的 功能。 在亚洲的泰国,估计有 10 万静脉吸毒者,其中 75%在曼谷。 有不少吸毒者同时又是同性恋者或
