愛滋病年增313宗創新高
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
?生署最新統計數字顯示,去年新增愛滋病病毒感染個案突破三百宗,是有紀錄以來最高。由於愛滋病屬自願呈報性質,署方承認有關數字可能僅為真實個案的六成;此外,署方又發現,在過去兩年,總共有二十群組的男同性戀者感染愛滋病病毒的個案,初步顯示個案有關連,相信他們參加經互聯網安排的性活動及有多名性伴侶,情況令人關注。

?生署發言人表示,自○三年十一月至去年十一月期間,署方共收到二十群組個案,從基因排列結果發現病毒類似,從流行病學分析,初步觀察所得,有關個案可能有所關連,並有三個共通點,包括曾進行不安全性行為、有多名性伴侶及曾參加經互聯網如網站及聊天室等安排的性派對。

發言人呼籲任何人士如曾有風險行為應尋求健康輔導,可於辦公時間致電愛滋熱線27802211 。

?生署?生防護中心高級醫生(特別預防計畫)何理明昨在記者會上亦表示,對男同性戀者愛滋病病毒感染情況表關注。去年第四季的感染個案為十九宗,比去年同期的九宗多,上季則有卅二宗。

去年第四季向?生署呈報的愛滋病病毒感染個案有八十七人,全年則錄得由八四年有紀錄以來的新高,合共有三百一十三宗,較○四年升一成七,亦令累積感染個案達到二千八百二十五宗。

感染率仍處低水平

另外,去年逾三百宗愛滋病病毒感染個案中,感染人士仍是以年齡介乎三十至三十九歲的男性為主,非華裔人士較多。當中近三成四是透過異性性接觸感染、近三成為透過同性或雙性性接觸、百分之八為注射毒品人士,而透過輸入血液/ 血製品或透過母嬰傳染的,分別為百分之一點三及零點六。

他強調,雖然去年愛滋病感染個案突破新高,但香港仍是感染率低水平城市,比率低於百分之零點一。

他亦再三提醒市民,進行性行為時謹記佩戴安全套,減少性伴侶數目,可減低感染愛滋病病毒的機會。
