The magnitude of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic and its broad impact have been seriously underestimated and underappreciated. The Special Programme on AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) of the World Health Organization (WHO) was created on February 1, 1987, as the architect and keystone of the global AIDS plan. The Special Programme on AIDS has designed the global strategy, has raised sufficient funds to begin implementing the strategy and, for this effort, has marshalled the support of every nation in the world. AIDS affects both the developing and the industrialized worlds; therefore, every country will need a national AIDS program. This is vital not only for national interests but also because ultimately AIDS cannot be stopped in any one country unless it is stopped in all countries. National AIDS programs are being rapidly established throughout the world with the technical and financial support of WHO's Special Programme on AIDS. At the global level, the Special Programme is responsible for strategic leadership, developing consensus, coordinating scientific research, exchanging information, assuring technical cooperation and mobilizing and coordinating resources. National AIDS committees have already been established in more than 150 countries and, by the end of 1988, the Special Programme will support every country in the world that requests collaboration.
人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）大流行的规模及其广泛影响一直被严重低估和忽视。世界卫生组织（WHO）的艾滋病（获得性免疫缺陷综合征）特别规划于1987年2月1日设立，作为全球艾滋病计划的设计者和基石。艾滋病特别规划制定了全球战略，筹集了足够资金以开始实施该战略，并为此争取到了世界各国的支持。艾滋病对发展中世界和工业化世界都有影响；因此，每个国家都需要有一个国家艾滋病规划。这不仅对国家利益至关重要，而且因为最终除非在所有国家都能阻止艾滋病，否则在任何一个国家都无法阻止它。在世界卫生组织艾滋病特别规划的技术和财政支持下，全球各地正在迅速建立国家艾滋病规划。在全球层面，特别规划负责战略领导、达成共识、协调科学研究、交流信息、确保技术合作以及调动和协调资源。150多个国家已经设立了国家艾滋病委员会，到1988年底，特别规划将支持世界上每个请求合作的国家。
