联合国报告显示 每3分钟就有一位少女感染艾滋病毒

One girl between the ages of 15 and 19 is infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, every three minutes of every day, a United Nations report found.

联合国的一份报告显示，每天每三分钟就有一位15到18岁的妙龄少女感染艾滋病病毒，而这一病毒将会引发艾滋病。

The report, released last Wednesday at the International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam, said teenage girls are bearing the brunt of the AIDS epidemic, largely due to gender inequality.

于上周三在阿姆斯特丹举行的国际艾滋病会议上发布的这一份报告表明，妙龄少女正遭受着艾滋病蔓延的摧残，很大一部分原因是性别不平等。

Henrietta Fore, head of the U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF), called it a "crisis of health."

联合国儿童基金会主席亨丽埃塔·福尔称其为一场“健康危机”。

"In most countries, women and girls lack access to information, to services, or even just power to say no to unsafe sex," she said. "HIV thrives among the most vulnerable and marginalized, leaving teenage girls at the center of the crisis."

她表示：“在绝大多数国家，女性缺乏获得相关信息以及相关服务的渠道，她们甚至没有对不安全的性行为说不的权力。艾滋病病毒在最脆弱亦或者处于最边缘的女性中日发猖獗，甚至使妙龄少女处于危机之中心。”

The report said while there was significant progress in the battle against AIDS in other age groups, it is notably lacking among adolescents.

该报告称，尽管在其它年龄段防治艾滋病取得了重大进步，但在青少年这块的防治成果仍旧并不太明显。

While AIDS-related deaths among all other age groups have been falling since 2010, those among children aged 15 to 19 have seen no reduction.

自2010年以来，所有其它年龄段的团体中与艾滋病有关的死亡人数持续下跌，而在15到19岁的青少年之中，这一数字却没有下跌。

In 2017, 1.2 million 15- to 19-year-olds were living with HIV, three in five of them were girls, according to UNICEF.

据联合国儿童基金会透露，仅2017年就有120万15到19岁的青少年感染了艾滋病病毒，其中有3/5是女孩子。
