Hungary is a country with relatively low HIV prevalence. Since 1989, a wide range of HIV prevention projects has been developed both by government agencies and by an increasingly active voluntary sector. While energy and resources continue to be invested in HIV information and education, some senior public health officials have argued that it is the country's compulsory HIV testing and compulsory reporting system which have enabled it to maintain its low seroprevalence levels. The testing and reporting system are soon to be reformed, however, in response to growing demands for better protection of personal privacy and confidentiality. Whether or not the forthcoming reforms will have an impact on HIV prevention, and what the nature of this impact will be, remain to be seen.
匈牙利是一个艾滋病毒感染率相对较低的国家。自1989年以来,政府机构以及日益活跃的志愿部门开展了广泛的艾滋病毒预防项目。尽管仍在继续投入精力和资源进行艾滋病毒信息和教育工作,但一些高级公共卫生官员认为,正是该国的强制性艾滋病毒检测和强制报告制度使其能够维持较低的血清阳性率水平。然而,为了回应人们对更好地保护个人隐私和保密性的日益增长的需求,检测和报告制度很快将进行改革。即将到来的改革是否会对艾滋病毒预防产生影响,以及这种影响的性质如何,还有待观察。
