新加坡卫生部部长Balaji表示,新加坡已开始将HIV阳性患者的情况直接告知其配偶以防止艾滋病(AIDS)的进一步扩散。新加坡官方发言人Sadasivan称,自2005年7月以来,新加坡已将有关信函直接交到41名妇女的手中以告知其丈夫为HIV感染阳性。官方发言人没有就此问题进行详细的阐述,更详尽的内容公布在官方网站上。此前妇女并不知晓其配偶的HIV状况,因此而面临感染艾滋病的风 Singapore’s Minister of Health Balaji said that Singapore has begun to directly inform HIV-positive patients of their spouses to prevent the further spread of AIDS. Singapore official spokesman Sadasivan said that since July 2005, Singapore had handed over the relevant letters directly to the hands of 41 women to inform her husband that HIV infection was positive. The official spokesperson did not elaborate on this issue. More detailed content was published on the official website. Previously, women were not aware of the spouse’s HIV status and were therefore faced with the AIDS virus.
