俄羅斯計劃開展大規模愛滋病篩檢活動
Russia Plans Massive HIV Screening Campaign
俄羅斯正在發起一項雄心勃勃的健康計畫，以對抗其日益嚴重的愛滋病疫情。
Russia is launching an ambitious health initiative to combat its growing HIV epidemic.
衛生部長米哈伊爾·穆拉什科近期宣布了一項大規模篩檢活動，旨在每年對全國三分之一的人口進行檢測。
Health Minister Mikhail Murashko recently announced a massive screening campaign aimed at testing one-third of the country's population every year.
隨著約一百二十五萬名愛滋病帶原者的存在，俄羅斯目前面臨著歐洲最高的盛行率之一。
With approximately 1.25 million people living with HIV, Russia currently faces one of the highest prevalence rates in Europe.
盡管政府在2024年進行了超過五千四百萬次檢測，但病毒仍在持續擴散，尤其是在15至50歲的成年人群中。
While the government conducted over 54 million tests in 2024, the virus continues to spread, particularly among adults aged 15 to 50.
一個重大的挑戰是「治療缺口」，因為許多篩檢呈陽性的人士無法連接到持續性的醫療照護。
A significant challenge remains the "treatment gap," as many individuals who test positive are not linked to consistent medical care.
包括社會污名化、潛在的藥物短缺，以及非政府組織的活動力減弱等系統性問題，都使這些努力變得複雜。
Systemic issues, including social stigma, potential medication shortages, and the reduced presence of non-governmental organizations, complicate these efforts.
專家認為，盡管大規模篩檢是一個開始，但該活動的真正成功取決於國家是否有能力為診斷出的患者提供可持續、不間斷的治療。
Experts argue that while mass testing is a start, the campaign's true success will depend on the state's ability to provide sustainable, uninterrupted treatment for those diagnosed.
