In the last two years, we have seen a remarkable intensification in the response to AIDS in China. A number of organizations have joined and contributed to the efforts of the Chinese government in responding the AIDS epidemic in China. This article specifically describes the role of the United Nations (UN) in supporting and strengthening those responses. Achievements of the United Nations highlighted in the article include: strengthened leadership and political commitment to respond to AIDS; improved HIV/AIDS surveillance and information; expanded prevention efforts; improved treatment, care and support to people living with HIV and increased resources for AIDS programs. Additional roles of the United Nations system in the near future include strengthening national leadership by supporting the 'three ones', i.e., one national plan on AIDS; one national coordinating authority for AIDS; and one monitoring and evaluation system for AIDS. In addition, the UN system is expected to strengthen alignment and harmonization of activities of all international organizations and improved accountability and oversight. Remaining challenges identified include increasing awareness of AIDS and reducing stigma and discrimination; reducing vulnerability and risk behaviour among specific groups; providing improved treatment, care and support for people living with HIV; promoting stronger engagement by civil society, and; addressing the gender dimensions of AIDS.
在过去两年里，我们看到中国应对艾滋病的力度显著加大。一些组织已参与其中，并为中国政府应对艾滋病疫情的努力做出了贡献。本文具体阐述了联合国在支持和加强这些应对措施方面所发挥的作用。文中强调的联合国的成就包括：加强了应对艾滋病的领导能力和政治承诺；改善了艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测和信息工作；扩大了预防工作；改善了对艾滋病毒感染者的治疗、护理和支持，并增加了艾滋病项目的资源。联合国系统在不久的将来的其他作用包括通过支持“三个一”来加强国家领导能力，即一项国家艾滋病防治计划；一个国家艾滋病防治协调机构；以及一个艾滋病监测和评估系统。此外，预计联合国系统将加强所有国际组织活动的协调一致，并改善问责制和监督。所确定的剩余挑战包括提高对艾滋病的认识并减少耻辱感和歧视；减少特定群体中的脆弱性和风险行为；为艾滋病毒感染者提供更好的治疗、护理和支持；促进民间社会更积极的参与，以及；解决艾滋病的性别层面问题。
