Let us refresh the old golden Buddhism of quail and nets. “We have long lived in the forest in the forest for a long time. Daily hunters will throw nets and trap many people, but the wise quail can be raised at the same time when the rest is worked together, and you can escape at once. The world’s largest conference on HIV science in the UNAIDS science in Eamonn Murphy, Asia -Pacific and Eastern Europe.
He said: “For a few days after that, the quail was able to drop the net from the catcher’s hand for a few days, but soon some of them were annoyed, and a small fight began, one quail was doing most of the other things, ‘I wanted to go in the opposite direction. It can lead to ruin. ”
AIDS response is faced with ruin, but will we fight or unite?
“I will be insensitive. Today is an AIDS response. We are all quail, from advocates to academia, nation, community, and development partners. We once worked together to lift the nets of the disease that threatened us to devastate us. We have traced we must blame history, ”said Eamonn Murphy of Unaids.
MURPHY said, “The recent global funding cuts can be rewritten with HIV infections and AIDS -related deaths, which are invisible since the early 2000s.” I gave it. “Many countries have reduced their investment, and domestic funds are often inappropriate to fully support funds for AIDS response that relies on external support.”
Dr. Jakkrapatara Boonruang and Mark Wainberg Fellowship Awardee, a research doctor of the HIV Research Institute (IHRI), says: “We need more work before AIDS 2025 is released before the start of AIDS ENDING AIDS 2025 by 2030. With the reduction of US funding, other international funds also had a funding program by international donors.
DR BOONRUANG said, “There are several aspects of HIV -related services, such as repayment that is not guaranteed in Thailand, which is included in the universal health of the government. For example, the benefits of service providers and utility courses have not yet been guaranteed by universal health scope.” I am facing reduction. For example, Ihri’s We have lost 20%of our colleagues after US funding was suspended. ”
New infections in the Asia -Pacific, low treatment insurance and funds reduction
UNAIDS Advisor Cedriann Martin said, “In the nine countries in the Asia and the Pacific region, new HIV infection rates are rising, and nine countries in this region have too low applications for the treatment of anti -retro viruses for life, and the region has faced financing crisis and overall HIV prevention crisis.
Between 2010 and 2024, there were nine countries in the Asia -Pacific Ocean, which was reported to have increased new HIVs. Fiji has the fastest growing infectious diseases in the world, and the new HIV infection has increased more than 3091% in sebum.
With Fiji, with other countries in the Asia-Pacific countries, where the number of newly diagnosed people increased between 2010-2024:
* 942% increase in the Philippines
* Afghanistan’s 187% increase
* 84% increase in Papua New Guinea
67% increase in Bhutan
* 48% increase in Sri Lanka
* 42% increase in Dong Timor Estes
* 33% increase in Bangladesh
* 16% increase in LAO PDR
In 2010-2024, there were nine countries in the Asia-Pacific Ocean: Afghanistan (11%), Pakistan (16%), Fiji (24%), Philippines (40%), Bangladesh (41%), Indonesia (41%), Mongolia (46%), Mongolia (46%), Mongolia (46%), Mongolia (41%), Mongolia (41%), and less than half of people living in HIV.
Cambodia confronts most of the people with HIV (92%) in this area.
Prevention crisis in the Asia Pacific Ocean
Compared to the decrease in the number of newly diagnosed people (40%) between the world’s 2010-2024 (40%), the decrease in the Asia-Pacific is far behind (17%).
“The Asia -Pacific is facing a prevention crisis. The decline in new infections has become flat. Every two minutes a new person contracts HIV in our region today. Every hour we have 9 new HIV infections among young people. “I try to empty the bowl but not turn it off.”
The concern about CNS (Citizen News Service) is that this number is almost identical depending on the Global AIDS UPDATE 2024 (last year). Therefore, there is no significant change in relation to the prevention, testing and treatment goals of this area. On the contrary, this year’s challenge has been in manifold.
79%of the new HIV infections were one of the main population and that partner. There are 43%of men who have sex with men, 7%of sex workers, 12%of those who are injecting drugs, and 2%of transgender. Eamonn Murphy of UNIDS said, “Crime and alienation deepen their vulnerability, making the HIV key population approaching the service more and more likely to participate in the available services.
In recent years, weak HIV reactions in the Asia -Pacific region: Why?
Eamonn Murphy of UNAIDS said, “In this area, HIV inspection and treatment have increased slightly since 2023, as well as HIV prevention.
Murphy said, “One in five HIVs still don’t know the HIV state, one in four is not being treated for anti -retro virus, and one in three did not suppress the virus load.
According to scientific studies and WHO guidelines, people with HIVs can not detect anti -retro virus therapy and virus loads that can save life, and people can live a normal healthy life, but there is no risk of any further HIV infection. Therefore, treatment also works. What you can’t detect is the same as untransmittbale or #euequalsu.
That’s why more than 95%of the 2025 HIV goals know their status and 95%are being treated and 95%are required to be suppressed by viruses.
EAMONN said, “By the end of 2024, 79%of the Asia -Pacific knows their condition, 69%of which are being treated, and 66%of which have suppressed the virus load.” By the end of 2025, 1.1 million HIVs with HIV may be diagnosed and 1.5 million HIVs with HIVs in this area. So in reality we will miss 2025 goals in the Asia -Pacific Ocean. ”
UNAIDS’s latest Global AIDS Update 2025 shows that progress among children with HIVs in the region is worth the 2025 HIV goal. 70%of children (or caregivers) know their condition and 67%are being treated and 57%are inhibited by virus.
83%of women with HIVs in the Asia -Pacific know their condition and 72%are being treated and 71%are suppressed by viruses. 77%of men with HIVs in the region know their condition and 67%are being treated and 65%are suppressed by viruses.
“We are dropping the ball for the future generation until we need to realize the dreams of the AIDS-Free generation. The treatment for children begins with support for families. Mother’s HIV service prevention is an important starting point for early infant diagnosis and continuous treatment. For many people in our region, they are not accessible to HIV selection, treatment and psychological and social support.”
He added: “We need to respond to sexual epidemiology for both men and women in the region, and we need to work with our partners to increase men’s health pursuit and to lower intimate partner violence in relevant countries and communities.
Learn the lessons of quail and nets
“The world still has learned the lesson of quail. We need to work together. We have a small opportunity to get it correctly. We know what is the central components of AIDS response, what is science, knowledge, evidence and partnership, but we need to prevent human rights in the Asia -Pacific region.” “If we focus and unify together, we can fly with a public health threat to the end of this infectious disease. Now we can end AIDS. Otherwise, we will all fail.”
