The recent AIDS-related death of a friend forced Dr. Iain Mackie to think about the disease and the lack of positive news about it. Despite a flood of recent studies that brought pessimistic news about the treatments now in use, Mackie tries to remain optimistic. "I may be treating only myself as I feed off the politics of optimism," he says, "but at least I will not be feeding off the politics of despair." The article appears as Canada marks another National AIDS Week Oct. 2-8.
一位朋友最近因艾滋病去世，这促使伊恩·麦基医生思考这种疾病以及关于它的正面消息的匮乏。尽管最近大量研究带来了有关现有治疗方法的悲观消息，但麦基仍试图保持乐观。他说：“我可能只是在以乐观的态度自我激励，但至少我不会陷入绝望的情绪中。” 这篇文章发表之际，加拿大正迎来10月2日至8日的又一个全国艾滋病周。
