新华网肯尼亚基苏木１０月２９日电（记者王雅楠）联合国儿童基金会执行主任安东尼·莱克２９日在肯尼亚第三大城市基苏木宣布启动母婴传播艾滋病免疫区项目，旨在实现到２０１５年在肯消除艾滋病母婴传播的目标。
莱克在启动仪式上说，该项目的启动是撒哈拉以南非洲向消灭艾滋病母婴传播迈出的第一步，同时也将是全球携手抗击艾滋病的重要一步。他说，该项目的斯瓦西里语名称为“Ｍａｉｓｈａ母婴传播艾滋病毒免疫区项目”，而“Ｍａｉｓｈａ”在斯瓦西里语中的意思就是“生命”。通过该项目的启动，预计到２０１３年在肯尼亚尼安萨省和裂谷省将能实现无艾滋病母婴传播病例的初步目标，这将占到肯尼亚患艾滋病婴幼儿总数的一半左右。
据介绍，本次免疫区项目将采取创新性防止艾滋病母婴传播手段，以社区为基础，对孕产妇进行早期艾滋病病毒检测，然后向艾滋病病毒携带者但尚未接受抗逆转录病毒治疗的孕产妇发放由联合国儿基会、世界卫生组织等国际相关机构合作研发的“母婴艾滋病保健包”，分别为孕产妇及婴儿提供孕期、生产至产后三个阶段的抗逆转录病毒药物及抗生素，使其不出家门就能定时、定量进行自我及婴儿抗艾防治，从孕产初期把艾滋病母婴传播的源头消灭。
另据了解，“母婴艾滋病保健包”在基苏木的发放只是在非洲推进母婴传播艾滋病免疫区项目的第一阶段，占发放总量的２０％。随后，儿基会还将于２０１１年中期前向喀麦隆、莱索托和赞比亚发放上述药品。
据统计，目前肯尼亚国内共有艾滋病病毒携带者１４０万人，其中８．１万为孕产妇，由于缺乏孕产期抗艾治疗，因母婴传播艾滋病的肯尼亚婴幼儿中超过一半在２岁前夭折，年均新增母婴传播艾滋病病毒阳性婴幼儿人数达２．２万。
