    Abstract Twelve agencies of the United Nations, including the World Health Organization, have issued a joint statement that calls on Member States to replace the compulsory detention of people who use opioids in treatment centres with voluntary, evidence-informed and rights-based health and social services. The arguments in favour of this position fall into three broad categories: Compulsory treatment centres infringe on an individual's liberty, they put human beings at risk of harm, and evidence of their effectiveness against opioid dependence has not been generated. The United Nations statement underscores that although countries apply different criteria for sending individuals to compulsory treatment centres, detention often takes place without due process, legal safeguards or judicial review. This clearly violates internationally recognized human rights standards. Furthermore, people who are committed to these centres are often exposed to physical and sexual violence, forced labour and sub-standard living conditions. They are often denied health care, despite their heightened vulnerability to HIV infection and tuberculosis. Finally, there is no evidence, according to the statement, that these centres offer an environment that is conducive to recovery from opioid dependence or to the rehabilitation of commercial sex workers or of children who have suffered sexual exploitation, abuse or lack of care and protection. The author of this paper sets forth several arguments that counter the position taken by the United Nations and argues in favour of compulsory treatment within a broader harm reduction strategy aimed at protecting society as well as the individual concerned.

    Abstract Promoting biosafety regulations and techniques supports human health and protects individuals and groups from harmful incidents. Particular attention should be paid to those potential infectious hazards associated with blood and other bodily fluids, especially those highly transmitted infectious diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), one of the largest global health threats. Ensuring innovative and adaptive screening and laboratory techniques to reduce the possibility of HIV transmission are integral to managing the disease. We review here the evolution and success of blood screening techniques for HIV, along with current issues that still need to be addressed. Published academic articles and media reports about nosocomial HIV transmission events since 1981 were reviewed to identify current blood screening and transfusion safety trends across the globe, along with specific recommendations from the Chinese perspective. Although most initial screening was limited only to antibody and antigen testing, newer screening tests (such as nucleic acid testing), coupled with risk-based screening of donors, have led to reduced risk of HIV transmission and continues to reduce the “window period,” when an HIV-positive individual may test negative though they have been infected. Further examination of current guidelines and regulations across the globe are discussed, in order to understand where critical gaps in screening may exist. Through examination of this data, it is evident that huge strides have been made since the beginning of the epidemic; however improved technical training of staff and streamlined testing guidelines could help promote efficient screening of HIV, while also supporting those providing care.

    Abstract Over past three decades, many prevention strategies have been proven effective in reducing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission. However, none of these strategies alone are effective to stop the spread of HIV. This review discusses a few key prevention strategies, including testing, harm reduction, prevention, prophylaxis, and modern communication strategies. We argue that although there are great challenges remaining to stop HIV transmission via sexual contact and injecting drug use routes, the combination of these effective strategies, control HIV epidemic can be achieved.Unlabelled Image

    Abstract We used nationally reported cases (NCAIDS/China CDC, 2016) and published literature to summarize up-to the end of 2015 epidemiologic trends in the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China. HIV-positive cases are distributed unevenly with most infections found in southwest China and the most affected population being men who have sex with men. Transmission mode of HIV infection has shifted from drug injection to sexual contact, which accounts for 95% of total reported cases. Two thirds of cases are from heterosexual transmission. Transmission pattern varies greatly throughout China. Some provinces in China reported heterosexual transmission accounted for over 90% of cases while other provinces reported homosexual transmission accounted for over 80% of cases. Patterns of heterosexually acquired HIV also vary widely, with 80% of cases attributed to commercial sex in some provinces, while in other provinces non-commercial extramarital sex accounted for over 70% of cases. Significant increase in HIV infection was observed among young students aged 15-24. China has successfully controlled blood transfusion-and injecting drug-related transmissions of HIV. Homosexual and non-commercial extramarital heterosexual transmissions have become new challenges for China’s HIV/AIDS program. Urgent adoption of the UNAIDS/WHO 90-90-90 target will help overcome these new challenges.
