拒絕歧視

In addition to strengthening self-protection， young people groups face great social pressure after being infected with AIDs. Before long， World Health Organization announced to the public that if people who are infected with HIV cannot obtain enough help and service， the global process of dealing with AIDs with be threatened.

In this regard， Marc Sprenger， Director of European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said， “In Europe， people who face the highest risk of being infected with HIV have not got effective help， especially those who have sex between females. Therefore preventing and controlling the spread of HIV among these people should become the key content of controlling AID for the European countries.”

除了自身加強保護外，青年群體在感染艾滋病毒后還要面對來自社會的巨大壓力。不久前，世界衛生組織對外宣布，感染艾滋病病毒的人群若無法獲得足夠的幫助和服務，將會威脅全球應對艾滋病的進程。

對此，歐洲疾控中心主任馬克·施普倫格表示，“在歐洲，艾滋病病毒感染高風險人群并未得到有效幫助，尤其是男男性行為人群，因此預防和控制艾滋病病毒在這一人群中的傳染應成為歐洲各國防控艾滋病工作的重點內容。”

The United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS has mentioned before， that it hoped the spread of AIDs could be eliminated by 2030. However， the current situation that young groups are weaker in the prevention and treatment of AIDs than adults has become a great obstacle for the accomplishment of the goal. “Shame and prejudice exist in many areas， and the people who are infected with AIDs are three times more likely to be unemployed than the average unemployment rate of a country. Prejudices about AIDs have become the main obstacle for AIDS sufferers to receive relevant services， including examinations.” Guy Ryder， Director-General of International Labour Organization expressed in his statements. He also advocated eliminating social prejudice， caring young groups jointly and making them brave enough to face up to AIDs， seeking information， examinations and help actively. Only in this way could they turn to doctors and stop the further spreading of the viruses.

As Henry Nichols， an American infected with HIV said， “If one day， my hand gets broken， I go to the hospital to have it bound up， tell the doctor plainly that I am an HIV carrier， please mind the viruses and the doctors and other patients can stay calm； if one day， I go to get my hair cut， tell the barber that I am an HIV carrier， please do the disinfection， and the barber and other customers can be calm. That day will be our holiday！”

此前，聯合國艾滋病規劃署提出，希望到2030年終結艾滋病的傳播。而青年群體艾滋病預防和治療遠滯后于成人的現狀，成為影響這一目標實現的重大阻力。“羞恥感和歧視現象普遍存在于許多地區，艾滋病毒感染者失業率高于一國平均失業率的3倍以上，艾滋病相關歧視成為阻礙艾滋病患者接受相關服務包括檢測的主要障礙。”國際勞工組織總干事蓋伊·賴德在其聲明中表示。他也呼吁，消除社會歧視，攜手關愛青年群體，使其敢于正視和面對艾滋病，積極尋求信息、檢測和幫助，他們才可能去尋求醫治，并防止病毒的進一步傳播。

或許正如美國艾滋病毒感染者亨利·尼科爾斯所言，“如果有一天，我的手破了，我去醫院包扎，我可以坦然地對醫生說：我是HIV攜帶者，請注意消毒。而醫生和其他病人都能很平靜；如果有一天，我去理發，我對理發師說：我是HIV攜帶者，請注意消毒。而理發師和其他客人都能很平靜。那一天，就是我們的節日！”
