中新网11月8日电 据香港大公报报道,香港艾滋病感染个案虽然处于低水平,但男同性恋者感染比率持续高企。戴蒙德艾滋病研究中心总裁何大一说,港府应针对高风险人士“下重药”,并在公共卫生方面“加把劲”,令市民提高预防意识;他表示,未来治疗将着重研发疫苗,利用生物科技生产抗体,但存有一定难度。
何大一7日出席“公共卫生及预防医学”学术会议后说,艾滋病仍没有根治方法,“这是一段漫长的道路”,艾滋病患者现时使用最多是高效抗逆转录病毒治疗(HAART),即是鸡尾酒疗法,令艾滋病病毒携带者和艾滋病患者的预期寿命延长,病人生存率也提高。
除此之外,患者可采用药物组合治疗以抑制病毒,但患者可能会放弃用药,或有耐药性问题。医学界未来治疗将着重研发疫苗,利用生物科技生产抗体。何大一指出,研究艾滋病疫苗已有三十年,因为艾滋病毒经常转变,外面有保护层,疫苗难以发挥作用。他说,疫苗未来一定要用生物科技生产抗体,代替旧有治疗,但用抗体来杀艾滋病病毒是不简单,剂量、注射次数需进行精密的科研才可决定,暂时仍未能作临床测试,因此难以评论其成效。

Xinhua BEIJING, Nov. 8, according to the Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, a Hong Kong although at a low level of AIDS infection, but the infection rate of gay men to remain high. David Ho, president of Diamond AIDS Research Center, said the Government should target high-risk persons "under the strong medicine," and in public health, "work harder" to improve public awareness of prevention; He said the treatment will focus on the future development of vaccines, antibody production using biotechnology, but there are some difficulties.
7 David Ho at the "Public Health and Preventive Medicine" academic said after the meeting, still no cure for AIDS, "This is a long way," AIDS is now the most efficient use of antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which cocktail therapy is to enable people with HIV and AIDS life expectancy, the patient survival rate also increased.
In addition, treatment of patients with drug combinations can be used to suppress the virus, but the patient may abandon the drug, or drug problems. Medical treatment will focus on the future development of vaccines, antibodies produced using biotechnology. Ho pointed out that HIV vaccine research has been three decades since HIV often change, outside layer of protection, the vaccine is difficult to play a role. He said that the future must use biotechnology vaccines produce antibodies to replace the old treatment, but antibodies to kill the AIDS virus is not simple, dose, number of injections can be carried out sophisticated research and the decision has not yet been able to do clinical trials, it is difficult to comment on its effectiveness.
