Louganis:
These were the trials for the 1988 Olympics
in Seoul, Korea. Until this dive, I had been ahead. But now, something else was
more significant than winning. I might have endangered other divers' lives if I
have spilled blood in the pool, for what I knew—that few others knew—was that I
was HIV-positive. AIDS forced me to stop diving; I had to quit diving
professionally after the Olympics.
Margaret
Chan:
It is reported that almost three million people
in developing countries are now receiving drugs for HIV. This is an increase of
almost one million people from two thousand and six. Still, the hope was to
reach three million by two thousand and five. But antiretroviral therapy, or
ART, alone will not solve the problem. For every two persons we manage to
provide them with ART, another five persons get infected. So again, we cannot
under-estimate the power of prevention.
Paula
Green.
The disease robs the body of its natural
defenses against infections. Almost seventy-five percent of people receiving HIV
drugs are in Africa. The drugs help patients live longer without developing
AIDS. An estimated nine million seven hundred thousand people in low and middle
income countries were in need of HIV treatment last year. However, by the end of
the year, just over thirty percent of them were getting it.
Raymond Chow.
Price reductions can be a main
method to let more people with HIV, including more pregnant women, receive the
drugs. Also, delivery systems should be redesigned to better serve individual
countries and smaller health centers. And treatments should be simpler than in
the past.
William Wang:
Huge
barriers still remain in dealing with the AIDS epidemic. Getting patients to
stay on their therapy is difficult. There are still large numbers of people who
do not get tested for HIV. And there are many others who get tested too late and
die within months. What's more, there is not enough joint treatment of HIV and
the related infections that most often kill AIDS patients. And still another
problem is the shortage of health care workers in the developing
world.
