VOA常速英语:Helping Vietnam Fight HIV/AIDS(翻译)
接下来,是一篇反映美国政府观点的社论。
Last October, Vietnam committed to adopting the UNAIDS ambitious 90-90-90 goals, making it the first country in Asia to do so.Under the 90-90-90 goals, the Vietnamese government has set a target wherein 90 percent of its people living with HIV must know their HIV status; 90 percent of people who know their HIV-positive status must be on treatment; and 90 percent of people on treatment must achieve suppressed viral loads by the year 2020.If Vietnam can reach this ambitious goal, it will be well on the way toward eliminating the disease entirely.
去年10月份,越南承诺采用联合国艾滋病规划署具有远大抱负的90-90-90目标,成为亚洲第一个这样做的国家。在90-90-90目标的指导之下,越南政府已经设立了一个目标—90%感染艾滋病毒的人群必须知道自己的感染状态;90%知晓自己艾滋病感染状态的病人必须接受治疗;90%接受治疗的艾滋病患必须在2020年前实现病毒载量抑制。如果能够达成这一野心勃勃的目标,那么越南就将很好地走上完全消灭艾滋病的道路。
The first cases of HIV/AIDS were found in Vietnam in 1990. By 1992, some 3,000 people were known to be living with the virus. And although the spread of the disease has slowed over the past few years, today, around 260,000 Vietnamese are known to be living with the HIV virus.
越南第一起艾滋病例发现于1990年。到1992年,越南大约有3000人感染了艾滋病毒。尽管在过去几年里艾滋病的传播有所放缓,但是现在,已经有大约26万越南人感染了艾滋病毒。
The United States government began to support HIV/AIDS treatment programs in Vietnam in the early 1990s,not long after the disease was found among the population there.These programs received a significant boost in 2004, shortly after the President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, was initiated in 2004.
美国政府从二十世纪90年代上叶就开始支持越南的艾滋病治疗项目了,就在越南发现艾滋病患后不久。这些治疗项目在2004年得到了显著的发展,当时“总统艾滋病救助紧急计划(简称PEPFAR)”刚于2004年开始执行不久。
Today, the United States is ready to help Vietnam reach the UNAIDS 90-90-90 target. In late July, the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, announced a new program, the Sustainable HIV Response From Technical Assistance Project, which aims to strengthen Vietnam’s capacity to lead the national HIV and AIDS response. The five year, $26-million project will be implemented by the U.S.-based, non-profit human development organization, FHI 360.
现在,美国准备帮助越南实现联合国艾滋病规划署的的90-90-90目标。在7月下旬,美国国际开发署(简称USAID)宣布了一个新项目—“技术援助项目之可持续艾滋病救护”,该项目旨在加强越南领导全国艾滋病救护的能力。这项历时5年、耗资2600万美元的项目将会由美国非盈利人类发展组织—FHI 360—贯彻执行。
“The project will scale up services along the entire HIV care continuum from diagnosis to successful treatment in high HIV burden provinces to achieve 90-90-90 HIV case-finding, care, and treatment targets,” said USAID-Vietnam Mission Director Michael Greene.“It will also provide demand-driven technical assistance at the national, provincial and local levels to build sustainable HIV/AIDS services and systems.”
“该项目将会扩大整个艾滋病护理体系流程的服务范围,涉及在艾滋病高发省份诊断到成功治疗艾滋病、以及实现90-90-90的艾滋病例发现、救护和治疗目标,”美国国际开发署越南任务主管迈克尔·格林如是说道。“该项目也将在全国、各省、以及地方提供需求很大的技术援助,从而建立起可持续的艾滋病服务和系统。”
This project is part of our continuing effort toward achieving the ambitious PEPFAR and UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets, and beyond that, the ultimate goal of an AIDS-free world.
本项目是我们实现具有远大抱负的PEPFAR以及联合国艾滋病规划署90-90-90目标而继续努力的一部分,而在此之上的,则是我们建立一个没有艾滋病的世界这一最终目标!
