The international community missed opportunities to raise HIV awareness and reduce transmission risk during the World Cup held in South Africa from 11 June-11 July 2010. With the tournament captivating the entire region, the public health community should have better applied our knowledge and evidence-based interventions to raise the profile of HIV prevention, care and treatment. More should have been done to prevent possible new infections fueled by visitors, alcohol and sports celebrations. Considering the impact of HIV in southern Africa and the amount of funds and effort that go into addressing the problem each year, we cannot afford to miss these opportunities for action.
2010 年 6 月 11 日至 7 月 11 日，南非举办了世界杯足球赛，但国际社会错失了提高艾滋病病毒意识和降低传播风险的机会。由于整个地区都被世界杯吸引，公共卫生界本应更好地运用我们的知识和循证干预措施，来提高艾滋病毒预防、护理和治疗的知名度。本应采取更多措施，防止游客、酒精和体育庆祝活动助长可能出现的新感染。考虑到艾滋病毒在南部非洲的影响，以及每年为解决这一问题投入的资金和努力，我们不能错过这些行动的机会。
