中國高校已成爲艾滋病高發區
As the HIV/AIDS epidemic begins to hit more young Chinese, the nation's health and education authorities are installing vendor machines selling home HIV test kits on university campuses to help raise awareness and fight the disease.
由於艾滋病毒開始侵襲更多的中國年輕人，中國衛生和教育部門正在高校校園內安裝自用艾滋測試劑販賣機，以幫助增強意識、打擊艾滋。
To date, 10 Chinese universities in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Heilongjiang provinces, Beijing, and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region have joined the initiative many call "progressive" in a country where sex largely remains a taboo subject and systematic sex education is still lacking.
截至目前爲止，四川省、雲南省、黑龍江省、北京市和廣西壯族自治區的10所高校，已經加入了這一被許多人稱之爲“進步”的行動。目前'性'在中國仍然是一個禁忌話題，系統的性教育仍舊缺乏。
"We cannot wait to take action, but it's hard to do so, especially on university campuses. Otherwise we put the young students' health at risk," said Shen Jie, deputy director of the Chinese Association of STD and AIDS Prevention and Control, which led the initiative.
該行動由中國性病和艾滋病防治協會副會長沈潔牽頭，她表示：“我們必須立刻採取行動，但是卻困難重重，尤其是在大學校園裏。否則我們就會將年輕學生的健康置於危險之中。”
"More universities are talking with us to install such machines on campus as an alternative option for students seeking HIV testing, which should be normalized anyhow," she added.
她補充道：“更多的高校正與我們就在校園裏安裝這種機器進行交流，從而爲那些尋求測試艾滋的學生提供另一種選擇，而無論如何，他們的這一舉動也應當被正常化。”
Many students are reluctant to visit the HIV testing clinics run by the health authorities, even though a visit is free, she said. Privacy and fear of discrimination largely keep them away.
據沈潔表示，許多學生都不願前往由衛生部門開設的艾滋檢測診所，即使檢測是免費的。隱私問題和害怕歧視在很大程度上導致了這一現象。
In recent years, China has seen a rapidly increasing HIV epidemic, particularly among young students aged 15 to 24, mostly via uNPRotected gay sex, said Wu Zunyou, head of the National Center for AIDS/STD Control and Prevention.
中國性病艾滋病預防控制中心主任吳尊友表示，近年來，中國的艾滋疫情發展十分迅速，尤其是在15到24歲的年輕學生之間，其中大多都是通過無保護的性行爲傳播的。
Nationwide, during the first nine months of last year, more than 2,300 students in this age range were detected with HIV, roughly four times greater than in 2010.
在全國範圍中，在去年的前九個月裏，該年齡段被檢測出患有艾滋的學生有超過2300人，這一數字比2010年差不多多出了四倍。
