Universal HIV testing and immediate antiretroviral therapy for infected individuals has been proposed as a way of reducing the transmission of HIV and thereby bringing the HIV epidemic under control. It is unclear whether transmission during early HIV infection--before individuals are likely to have been diagnosed with HIV and started on antiretroviral therapy--will compromise the effectiveness of treatment as prevention. This article presents two opposing viewpoints by Powers, Miller, and Cohen, and Williams and Dye, followed by a commentary by Fraser.
普遍进行 HIV 检测并对感染者立即进行抗逆转录病毒治疗,这一做法被提议用于降低 HIV 的传播,从而控制 HIV 疫情。目前尚不清楚在早期 HIV 感染期(在个体可能被诊断出 HIV 并开始接受抗逆转录病毒治疗之前)是否会传播 HIV,从而影响治疗即预防的效果。本文介绍了 Powers、Miller 和 Cohen 以及 Williams 和 Dye 的两种相反观点,随后 Fraser 对其进行了评论。
