去年亚洲据估计有30万人死于HIV相关疾病.按照现在的速度,数字可能会上升到50万人.印度经济学家Chakravarthi Rangarajan按联合国HIV/艾滋病组织要求领导了一项研究.
The report says three main groups are driving the spread of AIDS in Asia. One group is sex workers and the men who use them. Another is injection drug users who share needles. And the third group are men who have un-protective (unprotected) sex with other men.
报告表明在亚洲三哥主要的人群导致了艾滋病的扩散.第一个是性工作者及与她们交易的男性.另一个是共用注射器的吸毒人员.第三个是未采取保护措施而与其他男性发生性行为的男性.
Researchers estimate that as many as ten million women in Asia sell sex. At least seventy-five million men buy on a regular basis. In many Asian countries, these men, and their female partners, represent the largest group of people living with H.I.V. The study found that AIDS is the most blackly(likely) cause of death and lost work days for people in Asia between the ages of fifteen and forty-four.
研究人员估计在亚洲有1000万妇女在从事性交易.至少有7500万男性会定期与她们发生交易.在很多亚洲国家,这些男人及他们的女性性伴侣成为了最大的感染HIV病毒的人权.研究发现在亚洲艾滋病是导致15到44岁的人们死亡及丧失劳动力的最主要原因.
