中国粗暴抓捕男同性恋者侵犯人权,破坏艾滋病的有效预防和治疗
2010年9月30日(加利福尼亚奥克兰)-全球MSM艾滋病论坛(MSMGF)强烈谴责周日晚间在北京一处知名公园对超过80位男同性恋者的粗暴抓捕和虐待。根据当地活动家的介绍,20辆警车突然蜂拥至该公园并围捕了几十位男人,在一家当地派出所,他们被强迫照相、留取指纹和检验血液。这种歧视性的行为不仅粗暴践踏了人权,而且极大地破坏了在男男性接触者(MSM)中有效预防和治疗艾滋病的努力。

选择性少数人群进行抓捕并进行登记,延续了禁止公开讨论和寻求服务举动的恐惧与怀疑的环境,对艾滋病防控的努力是一种破坏。在这种带有敌意的环境中,暴露一个人的性行为和风险因素会使很多男男性接触者远离卫生健康体系,被歧视的经历与男男性接触者中的高风险性行为的增加相互关联。
关于强制血液检测的报告非常令人不安。强制检测违反了国际公认的个人安全和隐私权的保护。男同性恋者和其他男男性接触者必须能够获得针对他们特殊需求而提供的高质量的健康服务,政府应该对那些对男男性接触者实际造访态度友好并有能力的服务机构进行投资,而不应该在一个没有任何咨询、转介和保密条件的环境中进行强制检测。
在中国,男男性接触者的艾滋病感染是普通人群的45倍。2007年,他们占了新发感染的三分之一。1997年同性恋在中国已经不再被定罪了,而有关当局却仍在压制为男女同性恋提供社区服务的非政府组织、取缔公共场所的集会和文化活动。
全球MSM艾滋病论坛执行官员乔治阿亚拉博士说:“我们非常遗憾地提醒大家,同性恋不再被定罪,在维护性少数人群的人类尊严和有效健康服务道路上,仅仅是第一步。”,“法律上保护他们不受歧视和虐待,才是保障这些最受风险威胁人群健康和福祉的根本。”
本次事件是中国在应对其艾滋病流行中的重大倒退,中国在性少数人群艾滋病防治上已经取得了显著进步,而这次事件损害了已经取得的进步。如果当局不停止这类权力的滥用,整个国家就将失去形成前瞻且循证并有效模式,从而战胜这一致命流行疾病的重要机会。
全球MSM艾滋病论坛(MSMGF) 是一个正在扩大的由艾滋病组织、男男性接触者网络及倡导者组成的网络,这些机构和个人致力于确保有效的艾滋病预防、关怀、治疗和支持性的服务能够覆盖面广泛,男同性恋者和其他男男性接触者能够平等地获得符合他们需求的服务。全球MSM艾滋病论坛由来自17个主要为发展中国家的执行委员组成的执委会指导,由洛杉矶艾滋病项目(APLA)提供行政和财务支持。论坛通过倡导、信息交流、知识生产和能力建设,在全球范围内,促进男男性接触者的健康和人权保障。

September 30, 2010 (Oakland, California) - The Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF) stands with the China HIV/AIDS CBO Network in strongly condemning the arbitrary arrest and mistreatment of more than 80 gay men at a popular Beijing park on Sunday night. According to local activists, 20 police vehicles descended on the park and rounded up dozens of men, forcing them to be photographed, fingerprinted, and undergo blood testing at the local police station. Such discriminatory actions are not only grievous violations of human rights, they also work to seriously undermine efforts to effectively prevent and treat HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM).
Singling out sexual minorities for arrest and documentation sabotages efforts to control HIV by perpetuating an environment of fear and mistrust that inhibits open discussion and service-seeking behavior. In such hostile conditions, revealing one’s sexual behavior and risk factors becomes a liability, driving many MSM outside the healthcare system. Experiences of discrimination have also been linked to increases in high risk sexual behavior among MSM.
Reports of forced blood tests are especially disturbing. Forced testing is a violation of internationally recognized rights to security of person and to privacy. Gay men and other MSM must have access to high-quality health services that provide for their specific needs. The government should invest in friendly and competent services that MSM will actually want to visit, rather than conduct forced testing in an environment without any guarantee of counseling, referral, or confidentiality.
In China, MSM are 45 times more likely to be infected with HIV than the general population, and they accounted for roughly one third of new infections in 2007. While homosexuality was decriminalized in China in 1997, authorities have continued to clamp down on non-governmental organizations, public gatherings and artistic events geared toward the gay and lesbian community.
“This is an unfortunate reminder that decriminalization of homosexuality is only the first step on the road to human dignity and effective health services for sexual minorities,” said Dr. George Ayala, Executive Officer of the MSMGF. “Legal protection from discrimination and abuse is essential to ensuring the health and well being of most at risk populations.”
These events represent a major step backwards in China's response to its domestic epidemic. Incidents like this run the risk of squandering the notable progress China has already made toward addressing HIV among sexual minorities. If authorities do not put a stop to these kinds of abuses, the country will miss a significant opportunity to model a more forward-looking, evidence-based and ultimately effective approach to this deadly pandemic.
The Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF) is an expanding network of AIDS organizations, MSM networks, and advocates committed to ensuring robust coverage of and equitable access to effective HIV prevention, care, treatment, and support services tailored to the needs of gay men and other MSM. Guided by a Steering Committee of 20 members from 17 countries situated mainly in the Global South, and with administrative and fiscal support from AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA), the MSMGF works to promote MSM health and human rights worldwide through advocacy, information exchange, knowledge production, networking, and capacity building.
