最近在里約熱內盧舉行的愛滋病2026年大會上發表的一份報告顯示，受美國援助削減的影響，兒科愛滋病毒(HIV)照護出現了令人擔憂的下滑。
A recent report presented at the AIDS 2026 conference in Rio de Janeiro has revealed a concerning decline in pediatric HIV care linked to U.S. aid cuts.
數據顯示，截至2025年10月的前一年內，接受美國資助愛滋病毒治療的兒童數量減少了約77,000名，降幅達14%。
Data indicates that approximately 77,000 fewer children received U.S.-supported HIV treatment in the year leading up to October 2025, marking a 14% decrease.
在所分析的21個國家中，有20個國家出現了這種下滑趨勢，其中南非的跌幅最大，接受照護的兒童減少了30,000名。
This downward trend, observed across 20 of 21 analyzed countries, saw South Africa suffer the largest absolute drop with 30,000 fewer children in care.
這份由美國愛滋病研究基金會(amfAR)發布的報告強調了系統性的失敗，包括1,700間診所的關閉以及16,000個醫療職位的流失。
The report by amfAR highlights systemic failures, including the closure of 1,700 clinics and the loss of 16,000 health jobs.
由於三分之二的組織報告服務受到干擾，研究人員擔憂，若此類資金水平持續下去，到2029年時，全球可能面臨愛滋病毒感染病例增加660萬例，以及數百萬例與愛滋病相關的死亡。
Department of State that the program remains strong, experts warn that slashed prevention budgets—down 51% globally—threaten years of progress.
這種情況對於全球公共衛生的穩定而言，仍是一項關鍵的挑戰。
With two-thirds of organizations reporting service disruptions, researchers fear that if these funding levels persist, the world faces a potential increase of 6.6 million HIV infections and millions of AIDS-related deaths by 2029.
