Ed Sheeran has announced his support for our AIDSfree appeal as a limited edition T-shirt he designed goes on sale to raise funds.
艾德·希兰表示了他对我们AIDSfree组织(一个防治艾滋病的慈善组织)呼吁的支持,并通过出售他设计的限量版T恤衫来募资。
All proceeds will go towards our appeal and help our programme, a project in Nairobi, Kenya, that encourages young men to test themselves for HIV.
所有的收益都将用来响应我们的呼吁,支持我们在肯尼亚内罗毕进行的项目,鼓励年轻男子自己进行艾滋病毒测试。
Its broader aims are to protect young people from HIV, empower them to seek treatment if they are HIV positive and help stop the spread of the virus.
该项目更远大的目标是为了保护年轻人免受艾滋病的侵害,如果他们是艾滋病病毒携带者,使他们得以寻求治疗,帮助他们阻止病毒的扩散。
Sheeran said: “I'm completely behind the Elton John AIDS Foundation's goal to end the Aids epidemic once and for all.
希兰表示:“艾尔顿·约翰艾滋病防治组织的目标是彻底结束艾滋病的蔓延,对此我完全支持。”
“To do this, I firmly believe we need to make young men part of our efforts, not only to bring them into consciousness about their own risk and vulnerability to HIV, but also to empower them to protect the women around them.”
“为了实现这个目标,我坚信我们需要让年轻男子与我们共同努力,不仅让他们意识到自己罹患艾滋病的风险和弱点,也让他们增加保护周围女性的自主权。”
Kenya has the fourth largest HIV/Aids epidemic in the world. Thousands of people die from Aids-related illnesses there every year, and many more are living with HIV but are unaware of their HIV-positive status.
肯尼亚是世界上第四大艾滋病蔓延区域。每年有成千上万人死于与艾滋病相关的疾病,更多携带艾滋病病毒的人并不知晓他们是艾滋病病毒携带者。
Money raised from public donations through the AIDSfree appeal will be used to support the Elton John AIDS Foundation projects in six key cities around the world (London, Nairobi, Atlanta, Kiev, Delhi and Maputo).
通过AIDSfree组织的呼吁从公众那里筹集的善款将被用来支持艾尔顿·约翰艾滋病防治组织在世界六大重要城市(伦敦、内罗毕、亚特兰大、基辅、德里和马普托)进行的项目。
