听力原文： According to UNAIDS (联合国艾滋病规划署) estimates, there were 38.6 million adults and 3.2 million children living with HIV at the end of 2002, and during the year 5 million new people became infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35.95% of the total number of people with HIV live in the developing world. But HIV still remains a threat to people of all ages and nationalities.
Discrimination is the theme of the 2003 World AIDS Day. In many parts of the world, discrimination prevents people who are known to have HIV from securing a job or caring for their families. Discrimination can cause isolation. This can prevent people who have HIV and AIDS from being offered or seeking the treatment which could save their lives.
In order for HIV to be effectively tackled on an international level, efforts need to be made to end the discrimination against people with HIV and AIDS; educate people in safer sex and drug use, using appropriate media; provide condoms freely to people in the developing world; provide financial and medical assistance so that people with HIV and AIDS can be treated.
Started in 1988, World AIDS Day is not just about raising money, but also about raising awareness, education and fighting prejudice. World AIDS Day is also important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.

Last year, the report notes five million people became newly infected with HIV. That is more people than any previous year. Currently, it says, more than 38 million people are living with the disease. UNAIDS Senior Adviser Karen Stanecki. says Asia, with 60 percent of the world's population, is home to some of the fastest-growing epidemics in the world. In 2003 alone, she says, more than one million people became infected with HIV.
"Equally alarming, we have only just begun to witness the full impact of AIDS on African societies as infections continue to grow and people are dying in large numbers," said Ms. Stanecki. "The scale of the problem in Africa is well-documented, with over 25-million infections. If we do not act now,60 percent of today's 15 year olds will not reach their 60th birthday."
The report says the Caribbean is the hardest hit region in the world after Africa. It also finds the HIV/AIDS epidemic is continuing to expand in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, mainly due to intravenous drug users.
UNAIDS says infections also are on the rise in the United States and Western Europe. It blames this largely on the widespread availability of anti-AIDS drugs, which it says has made some people in these wealthy countries complacent. UNAIDS Director of Monitoring and Evaluation, Paul De Lay, acknowledges that around the world prevention programs are reaching fewer than one in five people who need them. Nevertheless ,he says there has been a dramatic increase in prevention activities for young people and several other successes as well.
"In Africa, for instance ,60 percent of children have access to AIDS education both in primary and secondary schools, "said Mr. De Lay. "That is a huge increase from the late 1990's. In highly vulnerable groups like sex workers, we are seeing a real success story in Africa. Thirty-two percent of sex workers who are identified have access to HIV prevention and there is a large increase in condom use in this population."
The report says global spending on AIDS has increased greatly, but, more is needed. It estimates $12 billion will be needed by next year, and $ 20 billion by 2007, for prevention and care in developing countries. The United Nations says AIDS funding has increased sharply in recent years, in part due to the U.S. government's global AIDS initiative. But it says still, globally less than half the money needed is being provided.

Minister, Distinguished Delegates,
I am very pleased to join you today on behalf of UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Program that brings together in a focus on AIDS our eight co-sponsoring organizations—the International Labor Organization was officially signed on as our most recent co-sponsor, less than two weeks ago. [TONE]//[TONE]
The HIV epidemic around the globe is continuing to grow—every day, the world sees 15,000 new HIV infections and 8,000 deaths as a result of AIDS. Month by month, AIDS spreads even further. At the beginning of October, a new report was issued by the collaborative group, known as "Monitoring the AIDS Pandemic". This report on trends in the epidemic in Asia and the Pacific noted that in Indonesia, for example, HIV is beginning to emerge strongly where for many years it has been absent. [TONE]∥[TONE]
Across Asia, they concluded, the epidemic is spreading both among populations with the highest risk of exposure and the population at large. In three Asian countries—Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar, more than 2 per cent of the total adult population is HIV infected. Across the whole of the region, at least 7 million people are living with HIV. [TONE]∥[TONE]
This report shows that looking only at overall national HIV prevalence can give a misleading impression. In countries with large populations—like Indonesia, India or China—millions of people are affected and prevalence in some groups is high. In India, for example, HIV has moved beyond sex workers, injecting drug users and men who have sex with men. India now has nearly four million people living with HIV, and in three states, testing among pregnant women has shown HIV rates above three per cent. [TONE]∥[TONE]
Across the world, 60 million people have been infected with HIV since the epidemic began. Sub- Saharan Africa has been worst affected with seven countries where more than 20% of adults are infected. If we translate these statistics into everyday life, they mean that in these countries today, a 15 year-old faces a 50% risk that they will be infected over their lifetime. They mean that even a relatively wealthy country like South Africa, by the end of the decade is facing a GDP reduced by 17 per cent as a result of AIDS. [TONE]∥[TONE]
Over the past few years, Eastern Europe has seen the fastest rate of HIV growth. For example, the Russian Federation shows the explosive growth of an epidemic fuelled by injecting drug—in a single year in 2000, there were more new HIV infections than in all the previous years of the epidemic combined, and the same rate of growth has continued in 2001. [TONE]∥[TONE]
Cities where HIV was unknown two years ago have reported that now the majority of injecting drug users have become infected, and infections are spreading to their sexual partners and wider. Nearly every region now reports HIV cases. [TONE]∥[TONE]
AIDS is not only a global epidemic of an infectious disease, it is a development issue and at the core of human security. Only by working together with strong determination can we ensure the prosperity of the entire population. [TONE]∥[TONE]
