年中國高校艾滋病感染人數3077例

A total of 3,077 new cases of HIV infection took place in colleges and universities across China in 2017, according to the National Health Commission (NHC) at a press conference on Friday.

國家衛生健康委員會在上週五的一場新聞發佈會上表示，2017年中國各高校共出現3077例新增艾滋病毒感染病例。

Homosexual behavior is responsible for 81.8 percent of the new cases, added the NHC, due to students' "poor awareness of protection, despite their high awareness of the Disease."

國家衛生健康委員會補充稱，其中81.8%的新病例是同性戀行爲造成的，這是由於學生“儘管對疾病有很高的認識，但對保護的意識不強”。

"The rate of college students who have had sexual experiences using condoms is less than 40 percent," said Han Mengjie, director of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

中國疾病預防控制中心主任韓孟傑表示：“有過性經歷的大學生安全套的使用率還不到40%。”

Han emphasized that the risk of infection still remains because college students, who are sexually active, might have unprotected sex because they are susceptible to external influences.

韓孟傑強調，由於處於性活躍期，容易受到外界的影響，發生不安全的性行爲，所以大學生感染的風險還是存在的。

Fifty-two colleges and universities across 11 provinces in China are equipped with vending machines that sell AIDS detection reagent for students to conduct self-examinations.

目前全國11個省的52所高校配備了自動售貨機，出售艾滋病檢測試劑以供學生自查。

China has been making progress in terms of prevention and control of AIDS, said Wang Bin, an NHC official in charge of disease prevention, during the press conference.

在這場新聞發佈會上，國家衛生健康委員會負責疾病預防的官員王斌稱，中國已經在預防和控制艾滋病方面取得了進展。

The spread of HIV through drug injections has been effectively controlled. In 2017, the number of people infected through drug abuse was 44.5 percent lower than that in 2012.

通過藥物注射傳播艾滋病病毒的情況已得到有效控制。2017年，經注射吸毒感染者的人數相比2012年下降44.5%。

The mother-to-child transmission rate also reached its historically low point last year, dropping from 7.1 percent in 2012 to 4.9 percent in 2017, Wang said.

王斌表示，去年母嬰傳播率也達到了歷史最低點，從2012年的7.1%下降到2017年的4.9%。
