台湾疾病防治中心宣布,自2026年起,台湾将扩大由公共资助的艾滋病毒治疗范围,向拥有永久居留权的外国居民和未成年人提供治疗。 疾病防治中心宣布,目的是改善非公民获得治疗的机会,目前这些人在获得国家健康保险资格之前需要依靠短期补贴。 Taiwan will expand publicly funded HIV treatment to foreign residents with permanent residency and minors starting in 2026, the CDC announced, aiming to improve access for non-citizens currently relying on short-term subsidies before qualifying for national health insurance. 这一行动是继预计新的艾滋病毒病例在2025年下降到约850例之后采取的,这是2003年以来最低的,原因是开展了有效的预防工作,包括扩大接触前预防(PREP)服务。 The move follows a projected decline in new HIV cases to about 850 in 2025, the lowest since 2003, attributed to effective prevention efforts including expanded pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) access. PREP的入学上限将从8,000升至9,500。 The PrEP enrollment cap will rise from 8,000 to 9,500. 截至11月底,台湾有615名外国公民感染艾滋病毒,其中343人已经享受国家健康保险。 As of late November, 615 foreign nationals in Taiwan were living with HIV, with 343 already covered by national health insurance.
