20世纪人类的医学技术日新月异,一个又一个绝症相继被人类攻克,但新的绝症又不断出现。艾滋病就是世纪末对人类最大的威胁。长期以来,中国人一直认为艾滋病是非洲和美国人的事,离我们还很遥远。但在1999年中,媒体不断发出警报:中国已经进入艾滋病流行的高爆发期。所以说,1999年中国人最关注的生理疾病不是传统的心血管疾病和癌症,而是艾滋病。 In the 20th century, the medical technology of mankind is changing with each passing day. One after another deadly diseases have been conquered by humankind one after another, but new terminally ill continue to emerge. AIDS is the greatest threat to mankind at the end of the century. For a long time, Chinese people have always believed that AIDS is a thing of Africa and the United States, far away from us. However, in mid-1999, the media constantly issued warnings that China had entered a period of high explosive status of the AIDS epidemic. Therefore, the most important physiological diseases that the Chinese people were concerned with in 1999 are not traditional cardiovascular diseases and cancers, but AIDS.
