Abstract

HIV/AIDS remains one of the most significant global health challenges, affecting millions of people worldwide. Since the inception of the disease, various global response strategies have been devised and implemented, aiming to mitigate its impact and ultimately eradicate it. While these strategies have yielded remarkable progress, there are still key barriers impeding the global fight against the disease. This paper, thus, delves into the key global response strategies employed in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic since its inception, examines the impediments to their successful implementation, and outlines the trajectory towards a world without AIDS. To continue the momentum in the fight against HIV/AIDS, it is imperative to adopt a multifaceted approach that addresses the existing barriers. One pivotal aspect of this approach involves intensifying efforts to improve the uptake of HIV testing. Encouraging individuals to get tested is a critical step, as it not only aids in identifying more cases of HIV infection but also facilitates the linkage of those affected to appropriate care and support services.

推进全球抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病:战略、障碍和根除之路。

艾滋病毒/艾滋病仍然是全球最重大的健康挑战之一，影响着全世界数百万人。自该病出现以来，已制定和实施了各种全球应对战略，旨在减轻其影响并最终根除该病。虽然这些战略取得了显著进展，但仍存在阻碍全球防治这一疾病的主要障碍。因此，本文深入探讨了自艾滋病毒/艾滋病开始流行以来为应对该流行病而采用的主要全球应对战略，审查了成功实施这些战略的障碍，并概述了实现无艾滋病世界的轨迹。为了继续防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病的势头，必须采取多方面的办法，解决现有的障碍。这一方法的一个关键方面涉及加强努力，提高艾滋病毒检测的接受程度。鼓励个人接受检测是关键的一步，因为这不仅有助于发现更多的艾滋病毒感染病例，而且有助于将受影响的人与适当的护理和支持服务联系起来。
