2018年世界艾滋病日主题：知晓自己的HIV感染状况 2018年12月1日，世界艾滋病日将迎来它的第30周年。今年的第31届世界艾滋病日的主题被确定为“知晓自己的HIV感染状况”。 自1988年以来，全球艾滋病防治工作取得了重大进展。截止2017年底，有3/4的艾滋病毒感染者知晓自己的艾滋病毒感染状况。 但是，正如联合国艾滋病规划署最新报告所指出的，我们还有很长的路要走。 这其中包括发现并接触那些尚不了解自己的艾滋病毒感染状况的感染者，确保他们可以及时享有优质的卫生和预防服务资源。 艾滋病毒检测对于艾滋病抗病毒治疗扩大化以及确保所有艾滋病毒感染者过上健康快乐的生活来说至关重要。 另一方面，进行病毒检测对于实现90-90-90目标并赋予人们选择接受艾滋病预防服务的能力来说，也是至关重要的。 知晓自己的HIV感染状态并及时接受预防和治疗服务，可以使得人们可以有效保护自己和亲人。 不幸的是，获得艾滋病毒检测服务依旧存在许多障碍。 其中，污名化和歧视便会阻止人们去接受艾滋病毒检测。如何获取隐私得到保护的艾滋病毒检测仍然是一个值得关注的问题。 这些阻碍的存在，使得许多人在生病和(或)出现症后才去接受艾滋病毒检测。 可喜的是，有许多新方法可以扩大艾滋病毒检测服务的可及性。 例如艾滋病毒自我检测、基于社区的检测以及多病毒检测等都有助于人们知晓自己的艾滋病病毒感染状况。 现阶段，我们必须扩大艾滋病毒检测服务覆盖范围。为此，我们需要坚定的政治意愿和资源投入，以及充分利用并扩展创新的艾滋病毒检测方法。 今年的世界艾滋病日，加入我们一起来提高对知晓自身艾滋病毒感染状况的重视，并呼吁消除所有获取艾滋病毒检测服务时面临的障碍吧！ World AIDS Day 2018 theme encourages everyone to know their HIV status This year's theme for World AIDS Day, which will be marking its 30th anniversary on 1 December, will be "Know your status". Significant progress has been made in the AIDS response since 1988, and today three in four people living with HIV know their status. But we still have miles to go, as the latest UNAIDS report shows, and that includes reaching people living with HIV who do not know their status and ensuring that they are linked to quality care and prevention services. HIV testing is essential for expanding treatment and ensuring that all people living with HIV can lead healthy and productive lives. It is also crucial to achieving the 90–90–90 targets and empowering people to make choices about HIV prevention so they can protect themselves and their loved ones. Unfortunately, many barriers to HIV testing remain. Stigma and discrimination still deters people from taking an HIV test. Access to confidential HIV testing is still an issue of concern. Many people still only get tested after becoming ill and symptomatic. The good news is that there are many new ways of expanding access to HIV testing. Self-testing, community-based testing and multidisease testing are all helping people to know their HIV status. HIV testing programmes must be expanded. For this, we need political will and investment, as well as novel and innovative approaches to HIV testing that are fully leveraged and taken to scale. Join us this World AIDS Day in raising awareness about the importance of knowing one's status and calling for the removal of all barriers to accessing HIV testing. About World AIDS Day World AIDS Day originated at the 1988 World Summit of Ministers of Health on Programmes for AIDS Prevention. Since then, every year United Nations agencies, governments and civil society join together to campaign around specific themes related to AIDS.
