艾滋病作为80年代才被人们认知的传染病,10余年间在全世界以惊人的速度蔓延。尽管我国政府及各部门采取了各种措施,做了大量的工作,但艾滋病仍以它特定的传播方式进入我国。厦门由于特殊的地理位置,处于我国改革开放的前沿,经济活跃,交通便捷,对外交流十分频繁,面对艾滋病的挑战,防治艾滋病的工作显得尤为重要。 As a contagious disease that people recognized in the 1980s, AIDS spread at an alarming rate throughout the world for more than 10 years. Although our government and various departments have taken various measures and done a great deal of work, AIDS still enters our country with its specific mode of transmission. Because of its special geographical position, Xiamen is at the forefront of China’s reform and opening up. It is economically active, has convenient transportation and frequent exchanges with other countries. In the face of the AIDS challenge, it is particularly important for AIDS prevention and control.
