　　国际在线消息（记者任杰）：今天（1日）是第22个世界艾滋病日。联合国副秘书长兼艾滋病规划署执行主任米歇尔·西迪贝先生日前在北京接受本台记者专访时表示，中国颁布了遏制和防治艾滋病的中长期行动规划，各级政府为此提供了经费保障，艾滋病防治事业蓬勃发展，这让他深感钦佩。
　　西迪贝说：“中国动员了很多社会资源防治艾滋病，政策层面在不断完善，选择实施那些给患者生活和治疗带来改变的项目，这令我印象深刻。我相信，只要针对艾滋病患者的‘四免一关怀’这样的政策继续充分执行，肯定会让更多人受益。”

　　“四免一关怀”政策是中国政府2003年提出的，即：国家实施艾滋病自愿免费血液初筛检测；对农民和城镇经济困难人群中的艾滋病患者实行免费抗病毒治疗；对艾滋病患者遗孤实行免费就学；对孕妇实施免费艾滋病咨询、筛查和抗病毒药物治疗；将生活困难的艾滋病患者及其家庭纳入政府救助范围。

　　西迪贝认为，近年来中国社会对艾滋病的包容性越来越强了，这体现了社会的进步和责任：“中国在包容艾滋病患者和感染者这方面的改变太大了。几年前，人们不可以谈艾滋病，政府不愿让人们和媒体谈论艾滋病感染的话题。而今天，我看到，中国在庄严行动，加强社会防治艾滋病力量，中国打破了沉默，通过增加财政预算来支持艾滋病防治活动，并全力消除社会的一个主要歧视现象，即对艾滋病的歧视。”

　　西迪贝先生还表示，他将继续推动国际社会与中国开展有效合作，共同应对艾滋病的挑战。
