英国研究人员7月1日表示，发达国家中艾滋病毒携带人群在感染后五年内的死亡率已经大幅下降，和正常人群接近。
这篇发表在《美国医学协会杂志》的研究报告表示，在上世纪90年代高效抗逆转录病毒疗法(HAART，又称鸡尾酒疗法)出现以来，许多艾滋病患者的寿命已经大幅延长，在发达国家中这种现象尤为明显。
来自英国的研究小组对13，000名男女艾滋病患者在感染后五年的生存状况进行观察，将其与同期的正常人群相比较。
英国医学研究理事会的流行病学家Kholoud Porter表示，在1996年鸡尾酒疗法问世之前，艾滋病人群感染后五年的死亡率为8%-20%，按年龄段不等，但随后该人群死亡率逐年降低，至2000年甚至降为零。
Porter称，但在2000年之后五年中，死亡率又开始上升，原因可能是人们开始不按时服用这种药物，或者停用药物。
她表示，最为年轻的艾滋病族群(15-24岁)在病毒感染后10年的死亡率较正常人群高5%；感染后15年的死亡率高7%。45岁以上的艾滋病族群10年和15年的死亡率则分别为5%和12%。

The research team from the United Kingdom of 13,000 men and women infected with AIDS patients in the five years after the living conditions were observed, with the same period compared to the normal crowd.
British Medical Research Council of epidemiologists Kholoud Porter said that in 1996 come out before the cocktail therapy, people infected with AIDS after five years the mortality rate of 8% -20%, according to age range, but then the crowd year after year to reduce mortality, To 2000 or even go to zero.
Porter said, but in 2000 after five years, the mortality rate began to rise, probably due to people not start on time and taking the drug, or inactive drug.
She said that most AIDS groups of young (aged 15-24) in the virus in 10 of the high mortality rate than normal crowd 5% after 15 years of infection with high mortality 7%. AIDS over the age of 45 ethnic groups of 15 and 10 respectively, the mortality rate of 5% and 12%.
