是掘墓还是造墓［56］有必要基于良知和价值的原因而发起一场杯葛全球基金和盖茨基金会的运动

让他们如此的破坏社区环境和腐蚀良知和价值，还不如让他们滚蛋！
2009年第三届12月1日世界艾滋病日"空腹健身运动"主题是：为全球基金的耻辱而饥谨 / Shame on Global Fund in China http://www.hungerstrikeforaids.org 今年度初步统计有分布世界割地的9人参加。自2007年来已累计132人次参与。
中国全球基金在2009年制造的邪恶、不公和公然的违背公序良俗，御用文人的无耻，没人忘记。我相信有一天，我们会用我们手里的证据控诉他们反人类！请大家记住我以前说的话，不要着急，做好证据收集和记录。
【美国《纽约时报》12月3日报道】题:在中国，艾滋病检测演变成"卖血"(记者 安德鲁·雅各布斯)
某个周五的夜晚，一群喧闹的年轻人聚集在"紫色部落"夜总会门口，但几乎没有人想进去。
这些人大多是男同性恋。他们在夜总会旁边一个阴暗的仓库里等待抽血。针头刺进拔出，他们露出了胜利的笑容，每次抽完血都能拿到一些现金。年仅18岁的商场职员张豪允(音)用棉球压住胳膊上的针眼，走了出来。他得意地说:"这是我两个星期里第三次来抽血了。"
在中国的14个城市，每个夜晚都有数以百计的人拥向酒吧、洗浴中心和公寓楼附近的临时血液采集中心，抽血进行梅毒和艾滋病检测。这项血检计划始于2007年，由比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会资助。该基金会将在5年内投入5000万美元，以防止艾滋病在中国的传播。到目前为止，已经有超过11万人接受检测。
但盖茨基金会的艾滋病防治计划在中国与众不同，因为每个抽血检测的人都能获得9美元的经济鼓励，如果检测呈阳性，还能得到另外44美元。这个计划引起了一些知名防艾组织的批评，它们说这种做法使得城市中出现大量靠抽血挣钱的人。
在天津这个有1100万人口的城市，仅去年一年就出现了20多个临时血液采集中心，很多由酒吧老板或者政府机构开办。一些血检中心并不向抽血检测者提供任何咨询，也不尽力帮助那些检测呈阳性的人接受治疗。
7年前在沈阳建立防艾组织的马铁成(音)说:"盖茨基金会的做法无异于建立一个大型买血机构，只关心钱不关心人。我曾见过有人一天进行多次抽血检测。"
每年超过30亿美元的投入使盖茨基金会在慈善项目上财大气粗。在一些发病率最高的发展中国家，盖茨基金会为防治疟疾、肺结核和艾滋病的努力广受称赞，但同时也招来一些批评。有人说，在项目规划上，盖茨基金会不愿接受外来意见。还有人抱怨说，基金会的巨大投入在草根组织中造成贫富分化，改变了地区医疗格局。
在中国，盖茨基金会的既定任务是甄别艾滋病感染人群，作为让这些人接受洽疗的第一步。项目规划人说，如果人们知道自己感染了艾滋病病毒，他们可能会改变自己的行为，以免让其他人受感染。他们说，付钱是必要的，它能鼓励人们前来参加血检。
虽然没在推介材料上明文列出，基金会的另一个目标影响更加深远:扶持不断增长的小型非政府组织，在防治艾滋病问题上这些组织或许能发挥比官方机构更大的作用。为了实现这个目标，基金会和卫生部迸行合作，由后者向大约200个非营利组织提供2000万美元资金。很多非营利组织处于政策的灰色地带，不被政府信任。通过强迫政府和私营组织合作，基金会希望能帮助双方建立一种持久的关系——随着时间的推移，令中国社会产生影响更深远的改变。(完)
中国疾病预防控制中心一位官员表示，这个项目已经使政府对私营艾滋病防治组织的态度有所转变，产生积极影响。自该项目启动后，中国境内的私营艾滋病防治组织数量激增，从几十个增加到超过400个。
H.I.V. Tests Turn Blood Into Cash in China

Patrons of the Purple Tribe nightclub in Tianjin, China, can earn money for taking an H.I.V. test, part of a Gates Foundation initiative that has drawn criticism.

TIANJIN, China — A young, boisterous crowd gathered in front of the Purple Tribe nightclub on a recent Friday night, but hardly anyone was interested in going inside.

Instead the men, most of them gay, waited their turn to duck into a dingy storage space next to the club. A needle prick and a wince later, they emerged with a triumphant grin, having exchanged a test tube of blood for a pocketful of cash. "This is my third time in two weeks," Zhang Haoyun, an 18-year-old store clerk, boasted as he walked away holding a cotton swab to the bend of his arm.
On any given night, in 14 cities around the country, hundreds of people flock to makeshift blood collection centers in bars, bathhouses and apartments where workers test for syphilis and H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS. The ambitious testing initiative, started in 2007, is financed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which will spend $50 million over five years in an effort to slow the spread of AIDS in China. So far, more than 110,000 people have been tested.
But the Gates H.I.V. prevention program in China is unusual because it offers a financial incentive to those drawing the blood — about $9 per sample and an additional $44 for those that come back positive — which is shared with donors. The program has provoked a flurry of criticism from some established AIDS organizations that say the money has given rise to a network of fly-by-night groups whose only interest is collecting money.
Here in Tianjin, a northern city of 11 million people, two dozen organizations have sprung up in the past year, many of them run by bar owners or bureaucrats affiliated with the government. Some of the groups do not provide counseling to those giving blood and make little effort to help those who test positive get medical treatment.
"Gates has created a huge blood-buying operation that only cares about money, not about people," said Ma Tiecheng, who runs a seven-year-old AIDS organization in the northwest city of Shenyang. "I've seen people getting four H.I.V. tests a day."
With more than $3 billion in annual giving, the Gates Foundation tends to make waves wherever it directs its largess. It is widely lauded for taking on malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS, among the biggest killers in the developing world, but it has aroused criticism for what some describe as the foundation's resistance to outside viewpoints when charting its programs. Others complain that the huge grants alter the local health care landscape by creating a realm of haves and have-nots among grass-roots organizations.
Here in China, the foundation's stated mission is to identify H.I.V.-infected people as the first step in getting them treated. Those who know their status, architects of the program say, are also more likely to modify behavior that puts others at risk. The payments, they say, are crucial for bringing people face to face with outreach workers.
Although not trumpeted in its promotional materials, the foundation's other goal is more far-reaching: to empower the small but growing crop of nongovernmental groups that stand a better chance of addressing the AIDS epidemic than China's lumbering bureaucracy does.
To carry out its mission, the foundation has linked up with the Ministry of Health, which funnels $20 million to about 200 nonprofits, many of which exist in a bureaucratic gray zone and are viewed suspiciously by China's authoritarian government.
The distrust flows both ways.
By compelling the government to work with privately run organizations, the foundation is hoping to foster a lasting relationship between them — and over time contribute to creating more profound changes in Chinese society.
Dr. Ray Yip, who runs the foundation's China effort, acknowledges problems with the program but likens them to growing pains.
"We are experiencing some of the hiccups of a less-than-perfect arrangement, but we expected that," he said. "If you look historically at arranged marriages, some of them last."
Dr. Yip, who is the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention office in China, embraces the Gates Foundation's philosophy of bold initiatives and risk taking — traits often lacking in government-run global health behemoths. He said that if some of the money ended up in the pockets of corrupt officials running fake organizations, it was the cost of doing business in China, where government malfeasance is endemic.
"We don't expect every grant in every city to be spectacularly successful," he said. "That's like buying 30 stocks and expecting them all to go up."
Sun Jiangping, deputy director of China's National Center for AIDS/STD Control and Prevention, said the program had already had a positive impact on government attitudes toward private AIDS organizations, whose numbers have increased to more than 400 from just a few dozen when the initiative started. He said his agency was working to weed out illegitimate groups.
Compared with the rates in other developing nations, the prevalence of H.I.V. in China is relatively low, with fewer than a million people thought to be infected, according to government figures released last week.
But public health experts are alarmed by an infection rate among gay men that has been doubling annually. By the end of 2008, nearly 5 percent of gay men in China's largest cities were thought to be H.I.V. positive; in some cities, that figure exceeds 10 percent. Health officials say gay men now account for a third of all new transmissions, up from 12 percent in 2007.
Advocates for people with AIDS say the government has been ham-handed in its efforts to prevent the spread of H.I.V., in some cases banning condoms in bars or hounding activists who become too vocal.
In recent years, organizations have sprung up to help those with AIDS who are refused care by hospitals. Many, like Deep Blue, a group that operates from an apartment on the outskirts of Tianjin, are largely financed by grants from abroad.
Deep Blue's two counselors meet with the 50 people who come each week for an H.I.V. test.
"If you have any questions, contact the volunteers with the red armbands," says one poster. "You can stop the testing at any time," says another. About 65 percent of those who test positive come back for counseling, said the group's director, Yang Jie.
Tong Ge, a veteran AIDS activist who has advised the Gates Foundation on its China program, said he was pleased with the foundation's work, though he said he wished there was more of an emphasis on training government workers and less money spent on testing. His biggest regret, he said, is that the foundation chose to funnel the money through the government.
"So much of the Gates money has ended up nurturing corruption in a place it didn't exist before," he said. Then, after a pause, he added: "But the truth is we can't blame them. The real problem is with China."
