巴巴多斯消除艾滋病毒母婴传播
正文 · 中文译文
世界卫生组织（WHO）宣布，巴巴多斯已作为公共卫生问题消除艾滋病毒母婴传播，这标志着一个重要的公共卫生里程碑，是多年来持续努力确保婴儿免于感染艾滋病毒所取得的成果。 “我祝贺巴巴多斯保护了一代儿童免受艾滋病毒感染，”世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞博士说。“巴巴多斯展示了全民健康覆盖在实践中的样子：为每一位孕妇提供免费服务，无论其国籍如何，并提供尊重其权利和隐私的照护。随着美洲已有15个国家和地区获得认证，该区域继续为世界指明方向。” 巴巴多斯现在加入了全球26个国家和地区的行列，这些国家和地区因消除艾滋病毒、梅毒或乙型肝炎的母婴传播（EMTCT），或因正朝着实现这一目标迈进而获得世界卫生组织认证。其中15个位于美洲，使该区域成为这些成就的全球领先者。 世界卫生组织的认证是在独立评估确认巴巴多斯达到消除艾滋病毒母婴传播全球目标之后进行的。2022年至2024年，巴巴多斯出生的婴儿中未报告因母婴传播导致的新发艾滋病毒感染。 泛美卫生组织（PAHO）主任兼世界卫生组织美洲区域主任Jarbas Barbosa博士表示：“巴巴多斯已经表明，当妇女和儿童能够无障碍地获得优质卫生服务时，消除艾滋病毒母婴传播是可能的。”“这一成就是儿童出生时免于艾滋病毒感染，感染艾滋病毒的妇女能够获得所需的照护和治疗。这对巴巴多斯、加勒比地区以及全球终结儿童艾滋病的努力来说是一个值得骄傲的时刻。” 评估发现，各项覆盖率始终很高：在三年期间，98%的孕妇接受了产前保健，98%的孕妇接受了艾滋病毒检测，98%的感染艾滋病毒孕妇接受了抗逆转录病毒治疗。 巴巴多斯卫生与健康部长Lisa Cummins表示：“这对我们来说意义非凡，它使我们能够看到我们的孩子过上充实、最美好的生活。它使母亲们能够在怀孕期间、治疗之前受益于治疗，而且这也意味着我们能够确保拥有更健康的人口，并且能够与全球其他同样实现这一历史性里程碑的国家一道携手并进。” 巴巴多斯政府、泛美卫生组织/世界卫生组织及其他伙伴之间长期合作加强艾滋病毒服务、监测和照护质量，使这一成就成为可能。 编者按 巴巴多斯通过公立诊所和医院提供全民医疗保健，伊丽莎白女王医院承担了约93%的分娩。所有孕妇无论国籍均可免费接受HIV检测和治疗，HIV暴露婴儿可获得早期检测和随访照护。HIV检测遵循自愿和保密原则，WHO评估未发现涉及HIV感染妇女的强制性生殖健康操作证据。民间社会也支持获得照护。为维持消除状态，巴巴多斯将需要持续投入、更新指南、加强卫生信息系统、扩大HIV-梅毒检测，并改善妇女和儿童的随访。巴巴多斯紧随巴哈马和特克斯和凯科斯群岛（2026年）、巴西（2025年）以及牙买加和圣文森特和格林纳丁斯（2024年）近期的认证之后。 全球和区域合作伙伴对这一成就表示欢迎 联合国儿童基金会拉丁美洲和加勒比区域主任Robert Benes：“消除HIV垂直传播意味着在巴巴多斯，妊娠期HIV诊断不再必然意味着传染给孩子。这意味着检测、治疗和照护已覆盖到有需要的妇女和家庭。” Luisa Cabal，联合国艾滋病规划署拉丁美洲和加勒比地区主任：“联合国艾滋病规划署很高兴分享你们作为医护人员、艾滋病病毒感染者、民间社会以及技术和政治领导者所取得的工作和领导成就，你们帮助确保每位女性都能获得所需的治疗和护理，从而使艾滋病病毒不会传染给她们的婴儿。我们非常高兴巴巴多斯现已获得认证。这一记录反映了政治承诺、技术和社区领导力以及对基于人权和性别平等的综合卫生服务的投资。联合国艾滋病规划署赞扬泛美卫生组织在该地区的领导作用，以及国家和区域两级一直在支持这些努力的所有合作伙伴。” 关于世界卫生组织 世界卫生组织致力于增进所有人的福祉，以科学为指导，领导和倡导全球努力，让世界各地的每个人都能平等享有安全健康生活的机会。我们是联合国的卫生机构，在150多个地点连接各国、合作伙伴和人民——引领全球应对突发卫生事件、预防疾病、解决健康问题的根本原因并扩大药品和卫生保健的可及性。我们的使命是支持所有国家促进、提供和保护健康。“携手为健康。与科学同行”是2026年世界卫生日的主题，标志着为期一年的宣传活动，旨在强调科学是保护全球健康与福祉的基础。

Barbados has eliminated mother-to-child transmission of HIV as a public health problem, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced, marking a major public health milestone resulting from years of sustained efforts to ensure babies are born free of HIV. “I congratulate Barbados on protecting a generation of children from HIV,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Barbados has shown what universal health coverage looks like in practice: free services for every pregnant woman, regardless of nationality, and care that respects her rights and privacy. With 15 countries and territories in the Americas now recognized, the region continues to show the world the way.” Barbados now joins a group of 26 countries and territories worldwide recognized by WHO for eliminating mother-to-child transmission (EMTCT) of HIV, syphilis or hepatitis B, or for being on track to achieve it. Fifteen are in the Americas, making the region the global leader in these achievements. Certification by WHO follows an independent assessment confirming that Barbados met the global targets on elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. From 2022 to 2024, no new HIV infections resulting from mother-to-child transmission were reported among infants born in Barbados. “Barbados has shown that eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV is possible when women and children have access to quality health services without barriers,” said Dr Jarbas Barbosa, Director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and WHO Regional Director for the Americas. “This achievement means that children are born free of HIV and that women living with HIV can access the care and treatment they need. It is a proud moment for Barbados, the Caribbean, and the global effort to end AIDS in children.” The assessment found consistently high coverage across the board: 98% of pregnant women received antenatal care, 98% were tested for HIV, and 98% of pregnant women living with HIV received antiretroviral treatment during the three-year period. “This is incredible for us, and it allows us to be able to see our children living their full, best lives. It allows mothers to be able to have the benefit of treatment during pregnancy, before treatment, but also, it means that we're able to ensure that we have a healthier population, and we're able to join the other countries around the globe that have also equally been able to achieve this historic milestone,” said Lisa Cummins, Minister of Health and Wellness of Barbados. A long-standing collaboration between the Government of Barbados, PAHO/WHO and other partners to strengthen HIV services, surveillance and quality of care has made this achievement possible. Editor’s note Barbados provides universal health care through public clinics and hospitals, with Queen Elizabeth Hospital accounting for about 93% of births. HIV testing and treatment are free for all pregnant women, regardless of nationality, and HIV-exposed babies receive early testing and follow-up care. HIV testing is voluntary and confidential, and the WHO assessment found no evidence of coercive reproductive health practices involving women living with HIV. Civil society also supports access to care. To maintain elimination status, Barbados will need continued investment, updated guidelines, stronger health information systems, expanded HIV-syphilis testing, and improved follow-up for women and children. Barbados follows recent certifications in the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos (2026), Brazil (2025), and Jamaica and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (2024). Global and regional partners welcome the achievement Robert Benes, Regional Director of UNICEF, Latin America and the Caribbean: "The Elimination of vertical transmission of HIV implies that in Barbados, a diagnosis of HIV during pregnancy no longer has to mean transmission to a child. It means that testing, treatment and care have reached the women and families who need them." Luisa Cabal, Regional Director, UNAIDS Latin America and the Caribbean: "UNAIDS is delighted to share in the success of your work and leadership as healthcare workers, people living with HIV, civil society and the technical and political leaders who have helped ensure that every woman can receive the treatment and care they need so HIV is not passed on to their baby. We are overjoyed that Barbados has now been certified. This is a record that reflects political commitment, technical and community leadership and investment in integrated health services grounded in human rights and gender equality. UNAIDS commends PAHO for its leadership in the region and all partners at the country and regional levels who have been supporting these efforts."
