艾滋病毒感染者预期寿命可接近正常人
Young people on the latest HIV drugs now have near-normal life expectancy because of improvements in treatments, a study in The Lancet suggests.
《柳叶刀》上的一项研究表明,由于治疗的改善,现在服用最新HIV药物的年轻人有着接近正常人的寿命。Twenty-year-olds who started antiretroviral therapy in 2010 are projected to live 10 years longer than those first using it in 1996, it found.
研究发现,于2010年开始抗逆转录病毒治疗的20来岁的人,预计比1996年首批使用抗逆转录病毒治疗的人要多活10年。Doctors say that starting treatment early is crucial to achieve a long and healthy life.
医生表示,早期治疗对于实现长期生存和健康生活至关重要。
The study authors, from the University of Bristol, said the extraordinary success of HIV treatments was a result of newer drugs having fewer side effects and being better at preventing the virus from replicating in the body. It is also more difficult for the virus to build up a resistance to the most recent drugs.
来自布里斯托大学的该研究的作者表示,HIV治疗的巨大成功得益于更新的药物,它们的副作用更少,更有利于阻止病毒在体内复制。病毒对于最新的药物也更难产生耐药性。Improved screening and prevention programmes and better treatment of health problems caused by HIV are thought to have helped, too.
另外,得到改善的筛查工作和预防计划,以及对由HIV引起的健康问题的更好治疗也被认为起到了帮助作用。But many people with HIV still do not live as long as expected, especially those infected through injecting drugs.
但是,仍有很多HIV感染者的寿命仍然不达预期,尤其是那些通过注射毒品感染的人。Prof Helen Stokes-Lampard, who chairs the Royal College of GPs, said: "It's a tremendous medical achievement that an infection that once had such a terrible prognosis is now so manageable, and that patients with HIV are living significantly longer.
就职于英国皇家家庭医师学院的海伦·斯托克斯-兰帕德教授表示:“曾经无法治愈的疾病现在可以控制了,这是医学上的一个巨大成就,HIV病人现在活得明显更久了。”"We hope the results of this study go a long way to finally removing any remaining stigma associated with HIV, and ensuring that patients with HIV can live long and healthy lives without experiencing difficulties in gaining employment and - in countries where it is necessary - obtaining medical insurance."
“我们希望这项研究的结果能够最终化解任何关于HIV的残留污名,确保HIV病人能够长寿健康,在就业的时候没有困难,在有必要的国家获得医保。”-
