BeijingCity gay manAidsThe infection rate is close to 10 per cent, and among this population group most at risk of hiv infection, it is about 5 per cent per year. The city has created the largest gay man in the worldResearchThe queue has so far increased to 8,000. This was learned by journalists at the sixth summit on science, technology and innovation for the prevention and control of major diseases, held yesterday by the city science commission。
Acute infections are 30 times more common
As one of the 10 major scientific and technological projects in the capital, beijing has made substantial progress on the issue of aids. "sticking and disrupting hiv/aids in key populations and critical periods" by wu xuan, director of the infection centre, yuan hospital, beijingControlThe new strategies project has now created the largest single centre in the world, covering 8,000 men who are gay, hiv and 500 people with primary infections. The original infection is acute within six months of the onset of the disease. This population is the key to aids prevention and control。
Yesterday, during an interview with the beijing morning newspaper, wu xin described the establishment of these two queues as providing important samples for anti-aids treatment, drug and vaccine development. Interventions in their behaviour, in particular lock-downs for 500 acute infections, can effectively reduce the incidence of hiv, which is 30 times higher than that of the general infected. Medical practice over the years has shown that traditional methods of aids control, namely condoms, abstinence, fidelity, etc., do not have the desired effect on the acutely infected male homosexuals and that finding such groups and timely intervention are more effective methods。
More than half of the students in the research queue. Calendar
Wu xuan explained that since 2003, free screening and treatment of aids patients had begun at yuan hospital in beijing. The research queue was established on the basis of these patients who came to the hospital for treatment. In this queue, the age range is between 20 and 40 years, more than half of which is higher than the tertiary level, and the proportion of university students. The majority of those working in the service sector are employed. Eight adults are not resident in the municipality. According to an analysis by wu, these figures do not indicate the small number of people at risk of aids who are registered in beijing, but rather the fact that many men who are gay choose to live in large cities, where there is greater tolerance and space for activity。
It was stated that the results of the beijing hiv/aids science and technology campaign had been adapted to china's aids treatment guidelines, and that it was expected that, with national coverage, 90 per cent of hiv infections would be detected, treatment coverage and efficiency by 2020. According to wu, this is expected to reduce new infections by 90 per cent, as well as mortality rates by 90 per cent. Early treatment is expected to increase life expectancy from 55 to 60 years, and now the goal is to increase life expectancy to the same level as hiv。
It has been reported that since the launch of the science and technology project for the 10 major diseases in the capital in 2009, the city has invested 440 million yuan in science and technology, and has launched 40 projects for major science and technology programmes, including early detection of liver cancer and the standardized treatment of radio-frequency digestion, the establishment of a model for the treatment of melanoma in the country and the establishment of a new programme for the treatment of acute leukaemia, in addition to the technical response to aids。
