Guangzhou AIDS two become gay men, the elderly are mostly sexually transmitted

More than 1,200 HIV-positive individuals have been newly diagnosed in Guangzhou this year. At present, Guangzhou's HIV-infected persons have entered the onset stage, and they have the same characteristics as Shenzhen and other large cities. The proportion of gay men in Guangzhou remains high and there are more and more trends. : Nearly 1 in 5 positive individuals are gay men. Yesterday, we learned from the “AIDS Day” publicity activities organized by the Guangzhou Municipal Health Bureau, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the City Health Education Institute that Guangzhou has established the first AIDS counseling service clinic for gay men. "Good" emphasis on online communication.

“Through our monitoring and incomplete report of the epidemic, last year the city's newly identified HIV-positive people (including infected persons and patients) decreased compared with the previous year, and this year it increased by 8% to 10% over last year and exceeded 1,200.” Wang Ming, director of the Guangzhou Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that about 60% of them are migrants. “There are several prominent characteristics of the local AIDS epidemic: the number and rate of infections among gay men and their patients have risen rapidly, reaching 18% to 19% of HIV-positive people; the proportion of sexually transmitted pathways has increased significantly, reaching 75%. The proportion has decreased; elderly patients over the age of 50 have increased, and most of them have been infected by sexual transmission methods.” Director Wang Ming said that this means that the pressure on prevention and control is even greater because AIDS has been caused by high-risk groups (drug users, sex workers). Etc.) Transferred to the general population.

According to reports, more than 130 screening laboratories and checkpoints have been set up in Guangzhou, and sentinel surveillance populations have covered key users such as drug addicts, STD clinic patients, pregnant women, and men who have sex with men.

Eighty-nine percent of infected patients were followed up

The “Health Care Center”, if not to say that this is an HIV/AIDS counseling service for gay men, is a bit difficult to find. This clinic is low-key hiding in the east side of Heroes Square, on the east side of the market, and found inside: There are three or four hundred square meters, two floors above and below, and various AIDS prevention and treatment manuals and service guides are available in the magazine column on the left hand side of the door. ......

Perhaps because of the afternoon of the working day, there was no person who came to the consultation in the half hour of the short stay. “There are a lot of people on the weekend, at least 30 people,” the staff member said.

“Because the current number and proportion of gay men are getting higher and higher, we have set up the first consultation clinic for them. We have received more than 1,000 gay men in the past few months and we have tested that HIV-positive people have broken through. 10%.” Chief of Xuhui Fang, Ai Fangke, director of the Guangzhou Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that there are currently two to three hundred infected people and patients who come here to communicate, receive psychological counseling, and provide free testing services. "Ken's door' here is mostly 30 years old," she said.

She explained that currently there are four NGO organizations (civil nonprofit organizations) in Guangzhou, which are conducting HIV counseling services for gay men. This year, more than 3,000 gay men have completed HIV testing. Experts said that compared with 2006, only 34% of positive infections were willing to follow-up, and now it has been increased to 89% willing to cooperate; and only 10% of patients willing to accept treatment five years ago, the current treatment rate reached 60%.

Mission prevention and control

Director Xu Huifang said that the survey found that 70% of gay men like to make friends online, with an average of five or six sex partners each. "So AIDS prevention and control is very important for this ethnic group. If a person is infected, it means that there are many people around it who should be tested."

In order to “get better,” missions, including testing, have taken the initiative to “get closer” to gay men. Guangzhou has not only established the nation’s first gay service website, “Guangtong.com,” and medical personnel have continued to provide all kinds of health knowledge. The free policy "infiltrated" into the Internet, and thus launched an online inquiry service. Netizens can find out their own HIV test results by password, and absolutely guarantee personal privacy. Only the person knows. Xu Huifang, chief of the department, said that the CDA's “advancing with the times” to strengthen network intervention is very practical in the present.
