此次卡替拉韦长效方案在中国的成功商业化上市,是GSK在HIV防治领域持续创新的又一关键里程碑。我们相信,这一长效暴露前预防方案,将为中国HIV感染风险人群的预防带来更多选择和获益,并对终结艾滋病流行产生重要影响。
在预防HIV感染方面,卡替拉韦长效方案在临床研究中显示出了优效于每日口服TDF/FTC片剂的结果。同时,仅需两月注射一次的给药方式,也为HIV感染风险人群带来一种创新的暴露前预防选择和体验,有助于减轻口服暴露前预防方案带来的用药焦虑和社会歧视,显著改善他们的生活质量,提高用药依从性及坚持率。
艾滋病防治工作不仅是一项关乎个体健康与生命安全的重大任务,更是构建强健公共卫生体系、促进社会和谐稳定的关键基石。面对我国HIV防治工作中的挑战,一方面我们需要提高公众对于暴露前预防的正确认识;另一方面,我们也需要积极推动暴露前预防措施的规范实施,为存在HIV感染风险的人群提供更便捷和可持续的预防服务选择。安全、高效的长效暴露前预防方案将成为降低艾滋病新发感染、控制艾滋病传播,推动我国艾滋病防治事业进一步发展的一项有力补充。
