Ghana 艾滋病委员会(GAC)重申,目前仍无根治 HIV 的方法,敦促确诊患者坚持接受抗逆转录病毒(ARV)治疗,以抑制病毒并保持长期健康生活。\n\n该委员会指出,尽管抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)非常有效,但 Ghana 的治疗覆盖率依然偏低。在估计的 337,435 名 HIV 感染者(PLHIV)中,目前仅有 57% 正在接受治疗。\n\nGAC 总干事 Dr Kharmacelle Prosper Akanbong 将治疗覆盖率低归因于患者的自我否认、社会污名与歧视,以及部分人在感觉身体好转后便擅自中断治疗,或转而依赖祈祷和草药偏方。\n\n昨日,在该委员会与 AIDS Healthcare Foundation(AHF)联合举办的能力建设研讨会期间,他在接受《The Ghanaian Times》采访时透露了上述信息。\n\nDr Akanbong 表示,使用 ART 疗法对预防 HIV 相关死亡至关重要,仅在 2025 年,该治疗就避免了 13,000 多例死亡。\n\n他强调:“ART 疗法非常有效。如果能够按照医嘱坚持用药,就能达到体内病毒被完全抑制的阶段。”\n\nDr Akanbong 还提到,现代 HIV 治疗已变得更加便捷,部分患者每天只需服用一片复方制剂,这使患者更容易坚持治疗。

原文原文 / Original TextThe Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC) has reiterated that there is still no cure for HIV, urging persons diagnosed with the disease to remain on antiretroviral (ARV) treatment to suppress the virus and live long with healthy lives.
It said although antiretroviral therapy (ART) was highly effective, Ghana's treatment coverage remained low, with only 57 per cent of the estimated 337,435 persons living with HIV (PLHIV), currently on treatment.
The Director-General of GAC, Dr Kharmacelle Prosper Akanbong, attributed the low coverage to self - denial, stigma and discrimination, as well as people discontinuing treatment when they began to feel healthy or resorting to prayer and herbal remedies.
He made this known in an interview with The Ghanaian Times on the side-lines of a capacity-building workshop organised by the commission in collaboration with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) yesterday.

According to Dr Akanbong, the use of ART was critical to preventing HIV-related deaths, noting that more than 13,000 deaths were averted through the treatment in 2025 alone.
"ARTs are very effective. If you are consistent with it as prescribed, you are able to get to a stage where the virus is completely suppressed in your system," he emphasised.
Dr Akanbong said modern HIV treatment had become more convenient, with some patients able to take a single combination tablet daily, making adherence easier.
