长期以来，人们一直认识到，个人风险因素只能部分解释对艾滋病毒感染的易感性，必须考虑到更广泛的社会经济、文化和政治因素。最近，这一认识已被应用于解决获得艾滋病毒治疗的障碍。然而，虽然针对与艾滋病毒预防和治疗有关的环境因素的结构性干预措施已被证明是有效的，但它们尚未得到广泛实施。以津巴布韦的情况为例，我们将展示如何从人权角度理解背景障碍，以及如何使用人权分析具体帮助定义“结构性权利”干预措施并迫使其实施。
There has long been recognition that individual risk factors can only partially explain vulnerability to HIV infection, and that a broader range of socioeconomic, cultural and political factors must be taken into account. More recently this understanding has been applied to addressing obstacles to accessing HIV treatment. Yet, while structural interventions aimed at contextual factors related to HIV prevention and treatment have been shown to be effective, they have not been widely implemented. Using the situation of Zimbabwe as an example, we will present an illustration of how contextual barriers can be understood in human rights terms, and how using a human rights analysis can specifically help define 'structural-rights' interventions and compel their implementation.
