New and improved treatments are helping HIV patients live much longer.
最新和改進的治療方法幫助HIV患者活得更長。
According to a new study, the life expectancy for people in developed nations living with HIV has gone up for about a decade.
根據(jù)一項新的研究，發(fā)達國家HIV感染者的平均壽命已經(jīng)上升了約十年。
And researchers say it's thanks to improved HIV medications, along with better screening, prevention and treatment for other health problems associated with the virus.
研究人員表示，這得益于改進的HIV藥物，以及更好的篩選，預防和治療與病毒相關(guān)的其他健康問題。
A team of researchers at the University of Bristol studied data from more than 88,000 people who had HIV in Europe and North America.
布里斯托大學的一組研究人員對來自歐洲和北美88,000多名HIV感染者的數(shù)據(jù)進行了研究。
All of the patients were treated between 1996 and 2010.
所有患者均在1996年至2010年間接受治療。
The researchers found the life expectancy for 20-year-olds undergoing HIV treatment increased by nine years for women and 10 years for men.
研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，20歲的女性接受HIV治療的預期壽命增加了九年，男性則增加了10年。
And the study predicted 20-year-olds who started therapy after 2008 and survived the first year could live to be about 78.
這項研究預測20歲人群在2008年以后開始接受治療的，第一年存活下來的可以達到78歲左右。
That's pretty encouraging news, considering the average life expectancy in the U.S. is 79 years.
這是相當令人鼓舞的消息，考慮到美國的平均壽命是79歲。
These findings are a big milestone in the fight against HIV and AIDS. But it's important to note that HIV-positive patients can face other life-threatening obstacles.
這些發(fā)現(xiàn)是抗擊HIV和AIDS的一個里程碑。但要注意的是，HIV陽性患者可以面對其他危及生命的障礙。
For instance, some patients don't have access to the consistent, high-quality care needed to keep the virus in check.
例如，有些患者沒有獲得一致的、高質(zhì)量的護理需要保持病毒檢查。
And life expectancy in the U.S. can vary by as much as 20 years, depending on where someone is born.
美國的預期壽命可以相差20年，這取決于某人出生的地點。
But internationally, there's still a lot of room for improvement. The World Health Organization says over 36 million people worldwide live with HIV but less than half are on antiretroviral therapy.
但在國際上仍有很大的改進空間。世界衛(wèi)生組織表示，全世界有超過3600萬人感染艾滋病毒，但只有不到一半的人接受抗逆轉(zhuǎn)錄病毒治療。
