 Edsel Salvana: 艾滋病毒的危险演变

艾滋病毒的危险演变

你是否也认为我们已经成功遏制住了艾滋病病毒？也许并不如你所想——下一波耐药性病毒即将到来。在这个令人大开眼界的演讲中，TED伙伴Edsel Salvana描述了一种具有及强侵略性的病毒，目前正在他的祖国菲律宾蔓延的艾滋病亚种AE型病毒。他还警告我们，这种病毒将有可能成为迫在眉睫的全球性流行病。

The world’s fight against HIV faces a hidden setback as aggressive, drug-resistant subtypes spread rapidly, especially in places like the Philippines. A single infection can create new viral forms with up to five percent genetic change—comparable to a gorilla giving birth to different great apes. Most treatments target just one subtype, even though nearly 100 exist and new ones keep emerging. Without vigilance and updated strategies, millions more lives remain at risk.
