After 30 years of AIDS prevention efforts, global leaders may now need to change their focus to spending more on drugs used to treat the disease as new data shows this is also the best way to prevent the virus from spreading.
The UN mainly took up the issue at the International AIDS Society meeting in Rome as it evaluated progress in fighting the disease. Guiding the meeting was completely new data that showed early treatment of HIV can cut its transmission to a sexual partner by 96 percent.
"Now it is very clear that treatment is prevention and treatment is an important part of a combination strategy (策略),Now that we know this ,is this going to be enough encouragement to change around our policy?” Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) said
That could mean redirecting, or adding to, global spending on fighting AIDS, particularly how much is spent on education or other researches into antiretroviral drugs (抗逆转录病毒 药物）that allow patients to live with the controlled disease for many years.
UNAIDS says at least $ 22 billion will be needed to fight with the disease by 2015, helping reduce 12 million new infections and 7. 4 million more deaths in the next decade.
Globally, the number of people living with HIV rose to 34 million by the end of 2010, from 33. 3 million a year earlier. But in poorer countries, a majority of such patients were not receiving antiretroviral treatment.
Fauci said he had already discussed this with policymakers and may make public his views . on needed policy changes at the meeting. "I don't think it's going to be one-size-fits-all Fauci said of the policy approach. "There is going to be certainly a difference between how things are looked at in the developing world and the developed world. ”
Facing the situation, UNAlDS Executive Director Sidibe also said, “As a patient with HIV, if you're lucky to be born in the North, you will not die from HIV. We need to have drugs which are not just for the rich market. ”

If you hear the sound of running water the next time you call a co-worker on his or her mobile phone, don’t be surprised. Three-fourths of Americans with mobile phones say they use them in the bathroom, a new study shows.
Approximately(大约) the same number of men and women have used the phone in the bathroom, according to a survey of 1,000 Americans by 11 mark, an integrated marketing agency, although men seem more attached to IT in the toilet: 30 percent of men versus(VS) 20 percent of women agreed with the statement, "I don't go to the bathroom without my mobile phone."
More than half the surveyed users (63 percent) said they have answered a phone call in the bathroom, and almost half (41 percent) reported initiating a phone call. That's not all, however. What goes on behind the walls of the stalls(小隔间) is anything a mobile phone is capable of. Sixty-seven percent said they have read a text, and 39 percent have surfed the Web. Men work more from the bathroom — 20 percent said they have participated in work-related calls, versus 13 percent of their female colleagues.
As expected, Gen Y(1981年后出生的一代) respondents(调查对象) are the pacesetters(先导者) in the "mobile everywhere" movement, with 91 percent using their phone in the bathroom. Still, older generations are not far behind. Eighty percent of Gen X(1961-1981) reported using the phone in the bathroom, as did 65 percent of Baby Boomers(1946-1965) and 47 percent of the Silent Generation(1925-1945).
While online, they are doing more than just surfing; 16 percent of Gen Y report they have made an online purchase while in the bathroom. Users of iPhones are particularly likely to browse and buy in the bathroom – 22 percent have made a purchase, versus 10 percent of Americans with mobile phones overall.
"The writing is on the stall," said 11 mark principal Nicole Burdette. "This study confirms what we all know: that the last private place is no longer private."
In the process, high-tech hygiene(卫生) is taking a hit, the survey found. While 92 percent of mobile phone users said they wash their hands after using the bathroom, only 14 percent said they wash their phones.
