释义

名词

获得性免疫缺陷综合症的通称。也称“后天免疫力缺乏综合症”。

 

DEFINITION

Noun

A common name for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Also known in Mandarin as “后天免疫力缺乏综合症”.

 

由来
  • “爱之病”由“爱之”和“病”两部分构成，而“爱之”是音译自英语的“AIDS”(Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome 的缩写)。
  • 爱之病由人类免疫缺乏病毒(human immunodeficiency virus, 简称“HIV”)通过性接触、输血或母婴传播等途径感染人体所致。病人会出现免疫功能低下、超过正常体温的轻微发烧、慢性腹泻、恶性肿瘤等症状，致死率高。
  • 1981年，爱之病首先在美国被发现。
  • 自1985年发现首起病例，新加坡政府发起了爱之病行动小组 (Action For AIDS)。有赖于公共意识的提高与医疗保健系统的支持，新增病例从2007年至2017年的每年400到500起，骤降至2022年的202起。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The characters “爱之” are the transliteration of the English term “AIDS”, while “病” means “disease”.
  • AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is transmitted sexually, through blood, or from mother to child during pregnancy. Symptoms of AIDS include weakened immune function, mild fever, chronic diarrhoea and malignant tumours. AIDS has a high mortality rate.
  • AIDS was first identified in the United States in 1981.
  • Since the discovery of the first case of AIDS in Singapore in 1985, the Government has launched Action For AIDS. In 2022, the number of newly diagnosed AIDS cases was 202, a sharp drop from the 400–500 cases per year from 2007 to 2017. This can be attributed to greater public awareness and support from the healthcare system.
