生物谷報道：美國紐約市衛(wèi)生部門12日宣布，新發(fā)現(xiàn)一種艾滋病病毒變種,，不僅對多種現(xiàn)有主要藥物具有抗藥力,，而且致使攜帶者發(fā)病的時間也更短。衛(wèi)生部門要求這座全美國第一大城市的醫(yī)療機構(gòu)加強檢測,。
紐約市政府健康與心理衛(wèi)生部在一份聲明中說,，新病例出現(xiàn)于今年1月21日，患者現(xiàn)年40多歲,，男性,。與這名男子所患艾滋病（AIDS）相應的艾滋病病毒（HIV）對現(xiàn)有4類病毒控制藥物中的3類藥物具有抗藥力,。而且,，從攜帶病毒到并發(fā)疾病，這名男子最短只度過了兩三個月,，最長不超過20個月,。相比之下，原先已知的艾滋病病毒潛伏期可達15年,。
依據(jù)這些因素,，新發(fā)現(xiàn)的艾滋病變種病毒已經(jīng)被命名為“3-DCRHIV”，即3-DCR型艾滋病病毒,。對于紐約市而言,，發(fā)現(xiàn)艾滋病變種病毒迄今還是第一次,。
但是，生物谷專家經(jīng)過嚴格分析認為,，這條消息的可靠性還需進一步驗證,，有待更嚴格的科學觀察才能真正下結(jié)論，目前仍處于觀測之中,。

A new, highly resistant strain of HIV that appears to develop rapidly into AIDS has been diagnosed in a New Yorker who had not previously undergone antiviral drug treatment, says the city health department, which is holding a press conference today.
While drug resistance is increasingly common in people who have been treated for the human immunodeficiency virus, city officials called the case “extremely rare.” The patient, who now has AIDS, is a male in his mid-40s who reported multiple male sex partners and unprotected anal intercourse, often while using crystal methamphetamine. The patient appears to have developed AIDS within two to three months of HIV infection, and at the most 20 months. People who contract AIDS usually get it more than 10 years after initial infection with HIV.
