5、HIV/AIDS is an important health issue in children and adolescents(青少年). Since the first clinical evidence of AIDS was reported two decades ago, HIV/AIDS has spread to every corner of the world.
Children and young people are at the center of the epidemic(流行病).
According to estimates by UNAIDS and WHO, more than four million children under the age of 15 have been infected with HIV since the epidemic began. More than 90% of them were infants born to HIV-positive mothers who acquired the virus before or during birth or through breastfeeding. Because HIV infection often progresses quickly to AIDS in children, most of the children under 15 who have been infected have developed AIDS, and most of these children have died. Another 13 million children have lost their mother or both parents to the disease.
An estimated 10.3 million young people aged 15～24 are living with HIV/AIDS, and half of all new infections―over, 7,000 daily―are occurring among young people. Young people are vulnerable(易受攻擊的)to HIV because of risky sexual behaviour, substance use and their lack of access to HIV information and prevention services. Many young people do not believe that HIV is a threat to them, and many others do not know how to protect themselves from HIV.
Today, HIV/AIDS is still spreading rapidly. The epidemic is reversing (使倒退)development gains, robbing millions of people of their lives, widening the gap between rich and poor, and destroying young people’s opportunities for healthy adult lives.
Within the WHO Department of Child and Adolescent Health and Development (CAH), HIV/AIDS work is taking place in the following areas:
Preventing the transmission of HIV infection in babies;
Improving care and management of children with symptomatic HIV infection;
Preventing and treating adolescents with HIV/ADIS.
65、When was the first case of AIDS reported?
A．Ten years ago. B．Twenty years ago.
C．Thirty years ago. D．Fifty years ago.
66、How many AIDS patients are under 24 in the world?
A．4 million. B．13 million. C．10.3 million. D．14.3 million.
67、Which of the following is NOT the result of AIDS in children and adolescents?
A．Gaining weight.
B．Losing life.
C．Widening the gap between rich and poor.
D．Destroying young people’s opportunities for healthy adult lives.
68、What will the WHO Department of Child and Adolescent Health and Development
(CAH), HIV/AIDS do?
A．Prevent the transmission of HIV infection in babies.
B．Improve care and management of children with symptomatic HIV infection.
C．Prevent and treating adolescents with HIV/AIDS.
