新华网哈拉雷１０月３日电（记者 李努尔）津巴布韦卫生和儿童福利部官员２日说，津巴布韦正在实施对至少１３０万名男性实施包皮环切手术的计划，以降低艾滋病病毒感染率，但目前该计划进展缓慢。
卫生和儿童福利部艾滋病和结核病特别工作小组组长欧文·穆古仑基在接受新华社记者采访时说，津卫生部门从２００７年开始实施这项重要计划，拟在２０１５年之前对津至少１３０万名男性实施包皮环切手术。但到目前为止，只有１万多人做了手术。他呼吁国际社会同津卫生部门合作，共同努力来完成这项计划。
穆古仑基说，多年的艾滋病预防研究与实践经验表明，实施男性包皮环切手术是减少艾滋病病毒传播的有效手段。如果这项计划能如期完成，即８０％以上１５岁到４９岁男性均实施包皮环切手术，那么津巴布韦成人的艾滋病病毒感染病例到２０２５年可比目前降低８０％。
据世界卫生组织公布的数据，津巴布韦４９岁以下男性的艾滋病病毒感染率从１９９９年的３０％以上降低到２００９年的１３．７％。然而，津巴布韦约１３３０万人口中仍有１２０万人感染了艾滋病，每周都有３０００多人死于艾滋病。
