抗HIV药可大幅减少性伴侣感染率
New research suggests the risk of an HIV-positive person transmitting the disease to an uninfected partner can be reduced drastically if they are given early treatment with anti-retroviral drugs. A large-scale trial of couples across four continents gave a reduction of 96% in cross infections. Professor Ian Sanne is a chief researcher in the trials from the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa.
"This, a 96% result, is quite remarkable. Because of the very convincing result, we now need to look at how this result will impact on the international treatment guidelines, and we need to work out how the package of prevention care can be best adopted for different populations."
德国一家法院下令释放91岁谋杀犯
A court in Germany has ordered the release of 91-year-old John Demjanjuk, despite finding him guilty of helping to murder more than 28,000 Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland. The court in Munich sentenced him to five years in prison, but issued the release order on grounds of his age and pending an appeal. The main German prosecutor Hans-Joachim Lutz said Mr Demjanjuk's personal guilt was proven.
"Nearly 70 years after the crime, we have been able to prove the guilt of the accused. The accused was a victim of German aggression as shown by the trial, but he later became a criminal of his own will. He could have withdrawn from his job in the concentration camp in Sobibor, but he didn't do this."
