国外有关艾滋病的论文

2009年5-6月的最新研究成果。加拿大和美国研究人员6月21日发表论文称，他们发现了可能会彻底治愈艾滋病的新方法，艾滋病将有可能不再是不治之症。治愈艾滋病的关键在于找到艾滋病病毒潜伏池--艾滋病病毒在人体内的藏身之地。研究人员说，他们找到了这种潜伏池，即记忆T细胞，这是一种人体免疫细胞，尽管它是一些艾滋病病毒的藏身天堂，但也在一定程度上能限制这些病毒的活动。研究人员发现，一旦艾滋病病毒藏身到记忆T细胞中，它的命运就与记忆T细胞休戚相关:细胞活着，病毒也就活着;细胞死亡，病毒也就死亡;病毒增殖也完全依赖于细胞的分裂。因此，摧毁记忆T细胞，也就可以摧毁“躲藏”起来的艾滋病病毒。研究人员说，单使用鸡尾酒疗法等抗逆转录病毒疗法治愈不了艾滋病，是因为它对潜伏池内的艾滋病病毒鞭长莫及。于是，他们提出了结合化学疗法和抗逆转录病毒疗法来治疗艾滋病的新方法，其中，抗逆转录病毒疗法可杀灭人体内大部分艾滋病病毒，而化学疗法则专门针对“躲藏”在记忆T细胞中的艾滋病病毒，这使得艾滋病病毒在人体中再无藏身之地。这项研究的负责人、蒙特利尔大学的拉菲克-皮埃尔·瑟卡利说，这是首次研究证实，艾滋病之所以治愈不了，不是因为抗逆转录病毒疗法不起效果，而是因为有艾滋病病毒潜伏池的存在。瑟卡利说，这是初步的研究成果，希望这项成果能指导科学家消灭艾滋病病毒，他们下一步计划在动物身上进行有关试验。这项研究成果已于21日发表在英国《自然-医学》杂志上。

艾滋病的保健教育 你可以把它简化， 把要点抽出AIDS Education One important aspect of a comprehensive AIDS policy is education. Many in our society are ignorant of the facts and need more information. A study of young people in San Francisco revealed that 30 percent believed AIDS could be cured if treated early, and one-third did not know that AIDS cannot be transmitted merely by touching someone with AIDS activists, however, have seen education as the primary or even the sole means of fighting the AIDS epidemic. And while education is certainly important, information alone is not a sufficient means of fighting AIDS. Indeed, there are some serious concerns surrounding AIDS problem is that AIDS information is often dispensed in a so- called value neutral environment. Educators and counselors try to discuss AIDS and human sexuality in an amoral framework. But in attempting to be amoral, they often end up being immoral. Teaching the facts about subjects like condoms and homosexuality without teaching the moral values associated with them is tantamount to encouraging second concern about AIDS education is that it sometimes misrepresents the facts. Various medical and governmental reports, for example, have touted the condom as an effective means of reducing the risk of contracting AIDS. But while it is true that condoms reduce the risk of contracting AIDS, they by no means eliminate used for contraceptive purposes fail about 10 percent of the time over the course of a year. Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop warned of the "extraordinarily high" failure rate of condoms among homosexuals. And a study done at the University of Miami Medical School showed that 17 percent of women married to men with AIDS became infected within a year despite the use of , AIDS education is frequently used to promote the homosexual lifestyle. While AIDS is not exclusively a gay disease, it has often been used by gay activists to promote acceptance of homosexuality. Although we should reach out to AIDS victims with compassion, we should not compromise the biblical teaching that homosexuality is unnatural (Rom. 1:26-27) and an abomination (Lev. 18:22).Fourth and last, there is some question about the general effectiveness of AIDS education. While educating people about AIDS may provide them with the basic facts, we should not be so naive as to believe that information alone will necessarily change their behavior. If it did, then our country's massive anti-smoking education programs would have been followed by a precipitous drop in smoking and lung cancer, and the numerous venereal-disease education programs would have substantially reduced the number of sexually transmitted inadequacy of education became evident through a survey that asked students at the University of Maryland about their knowledge of AIDS and their subsequent sexual behavior. Seventy-seven percent said they knew condoms can be used to limit the risk of infection of AIDS, but only 30 percent reported increased use of condoms. Eighty-three percent of the male students who said they have homosexual relations said they had made no change in their hasn't AIDS education been more effective? One reason is that people use selective perception to screen out most of the messages they receive. We do not, for example, pay much attention to lawnmower commercials unless we are in the market for a lawnmower. If people do not think they are at risk for AIDS, AIDS information may not get through their perceptual the problem of selective perception is emotional denial. High-risk groups often ignore messages they do not want to hear, and those at risk for AIDS are no and perhaps most important, human sin nature frequently keeps us from doing what is right and leads us to practice evil (Rom. 7:15-19). All have sinned (Rom. 3:23) and fall short of the glory of God, so we should not be surprised that people engage in dangerous sexual behavior even when they are armed with the facts.
