We could better the situation by producing the ARV's locally.

如果能在当地生产种药，能使情况好转很多。

That's where antiretrovirals, a. k. a. ARVs, come in.

逆转录病毒药，也ARVs，应运而生。

ARVs are a group of drugs which work in different ways to combat HIV.

逆转录病毒药一组以不同方艾滋病病毒的药。

Here's where it gets especially interesting: In people with HIV, ARVs can also dramatically reduce HIV transmission.

特别有趣的，逆转录病毒药也能极大降低艾滋病患者艾滋病毒的传播。

ARVs also work preventatively in people who don't have HIV.

逆转录病毒药也可用于未感染艾滋人群的预防性治疗。

About 80 percent of ARV's used in Africa are imported from abroad and many countries are pushing to produce locally.

非洲所用的逆转录病毒药，有80%从国外进口的，并且很多国家都在推进其生产进程。

That’s where antiretrovirals– a.k.a. ARVs– come in.

逆转录病毒药（ 又名 ARV） 发挥作用的地方。

ARV treatments enable most to lead long and healthy lives.

逆转录病毒治疗使大多数人能够过上健康长寿的生活。

Since then, the percentage of people on ARV's has doubled to about 30 percent, but aid groups say that is still too low.

从那以后，用它治病的患者比例翻倍，增长到了将近30%，但救援组说，个比例还很低。

Here’s where it gets especially interesting: In people with HIV, ARVs can also dramatically reduce HIV transmission.

它变得特别有趣的地方：在艾滋病毒感染者中，逆转录病毒药还可以显着减少艾滋病毒的传播。

It's a promising step toward the next frontier in HIV treatment: ridding people of the virus and, potentially, their lifelong dependence on ARV drugs.

可以说朝着艾滋病治疗的下一个前沿迈出了充满希望的一步，驱除患者体内的病毒，甚至有望斩断大家逆转录病毒药的终身依赖。

That means an HIV-negative person who may be at risk of contracting the disease can take certain ARVs to protect themselves, before they become exposed.

也说艾滋病毒阴性者如果有感染的风险，可服用某些逆转录病毒药来保护自己。

It's based on the idea that someone with HIV who takes ARV's can lower the virus level in their bodies until it becomes undetectable.

该想法基于感染者服用逆转录病毒药后，会降低体内的 HIV 病毒水平，直至检测不到。

Many at-risk HIV negative people across the world do not have access to PrEP or ARVs, and those who are HIV positive may experience challenges to taking ARVs.

世界各地许多处于危险中的艾滋病毒阴性者无法获得暴露前预防或逆转录病毒药，而艾滋病毒感染者也面临服用药的挑战。

It’s based on the idea that someone with HIV who takes ARV’s can lower the virus level in their bodies until it becomes undetectable.

它基于样的想法，即服用 ARV 的 HIV 感染者可以降低体内的病毒水平，直到检测不到为止。

Antiretroviral drugs or ARV's, in Ivory Coast are financed by initiatives like The Global Fund to Fight AIDS along with the government, but the demand remains high and so is the cost.

科特迪瓦的逆转录病毒由艾基金和其政府一同支持的，但供不应求，价格高昂。

Doctors today have no trouble keeping HIV under control in people who are infected, thanks to antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, which stop the virus from replicating once it finds its way inside healthy cells.

今天的医生可以毫不费劲地控制住艾滋病患者的病情，多亏了反转录病毒药的发明，种药能够阻止进入健康细胞的病毒进行复制。

He kept his virus under control with a combination of ARVs for about 10 years, until he was hit with another devastating diagnosis: leukemia, which his doctors believed was not related to his HIV.

他用各种逆转录病毒药将自己的病情控制了将近10年时间，直到他接到了另一个毁灭性的诊断：白血病，但他的医生认为该病与他的艾滋病毒无关。

Only 9 of the 152 countries surveyed are still reporting disruptions; and in June, 24 countries reported less than 3 months supply of ARVs, while now only 12 report a critically low stock.

在接受调查的 152 个国家中， 只有 9 个国家仍在报告中断；6 月，24 个国家报告逆转录病毒药供应不足 3 个月，而现在只有 12 个国家报告库存极低。

In the period from 1996 to 2017, we almost halved the number of new HIV infections, and for the millions of people who still live with the virus, ARV treatments enable most to lead long and healthy lives.

在1996年至2017年期间，新的艾滋病毒感染人数几乎下降了一半，于数百万感染了艾滋病毒的人来说，逆转录病毒疗法使多数人能够过上长寿和健康的生活。
