Now it's been one year since the United States announced sweeping cuts to its foreign aid program.

美國宣佈大幅削減外國援助計畫至今已有一年了。

情態副詞

And one of the major casualties was South Africa, particularly its HIV and AIDS programs.

而其中一個主要受害者就是南非，尤其是其 HIV 和 AIDS 相關計畫。

The country's health minister told the BBC at the time that it was a wake up call.

當時該國衛生部長告訴 BBC，這是一個警鐘。

Now the BBC has spoken to him again, as well as other experts to find out how South Africa has fared and why it's so important for the rest of the world.

現在 BBC 再次採訪了他，以及其他專家，瞭解南非的近況，以及這對世界其他地方為何如此重要。

The BBC's Africa correspondent, Miani Jones sent this report from Cape Town.

BBC 的非洲記者 Miani Jones 從開普敦發回了這則報導。

Heading deep into Cape Town's infamous Cape Flats.

前往南非惡名昭彰的開普敦貧民區深處。

These are some of the most dangerous and disadvantaged townships in South Africa.

這裡是一些南非最危險、最弱勢的鎮區。

The area has high rates of HIV, particularly among young people and women.

該地區的 HIV 感染率很高，特別是在年輕人和女性之間。

And many don't want to become another statistic.

而且很多人不想成為另一個統計數字。

In this mobile medical center run by the Desmond Tutu foundation, they can receive preventative medicines like PrEP.

在這個由 Desmond Tutu 基金會營運的行動醫療中心，他們可以獲得 PrEP 等預防性藥物。

It means they don't have to go to government funded clinics.

這表示他們不必去政府資助診所。

It's very important for young people because when you go to the clinics you get people that are your mother's age so you can't open up to them.

這對年輕人來說非常重要，因為你去診所時，遇到的都是你媽媽那個年紀的人，你沒辦法對他們敞開心扉。

So you get young people like same as your age so you can open up and tell them anything, even them, like the way they speak to us.

所以你會遇到跟你年紀相仿的年輕人，你可以對他們敞開心扉，告訴他們任何事，就像他們跟我們說話一樣。

Young people, like I said, rely on mobile clinics.

正如我所說，年輕人依賴行動診所。

They often reach some of South Africa's most vulnerable populations.

它們經常能接觸到一些南非最弱勢的群體。

And that's why scientists are concerned that aid cuts could lead to a surge in new infections here.

這就是為什麼科學家們擔心援助削減可能導致這裡的新感染激增。

The contribution that South Africa's made, leading researchers say the impact of the US funding cuts are still being felt here.

南非所做的貢獻，領先的研究人員表示，美國資金削減的影響在這裡仍然感受得到。

South Africa continues to be largely cut off.

I often say to people, in order to end the epidemic for the world, we really do need to end the epidemic in South Africa.

我常跟人說，為了終結全球的流行病，我們真的需要終結南非的流行病。

If we do not contain it, close it down, shut it down, we stand the huge risk of it continuing.

如果我們不加以控制、不封鎖、不關閉，我們將面臨它持續蔓延的巨大風險。

For decades, South Africa's HIV research industry has benefited immensely from American funding.

幾十年來，南非的愛滋病研究產業從美國資金中獲益良多。

The government says it's time to move on from American reliance.

政府表示，是時候擺脫美國依賴了。

They have adopted the new policy called America First Global Health Policy, which I believe, frankly speaking, no nation on earth that respect itself should accede to.

他們採納了名為「美國優先全球健康政策」的新政策，我認為，坦白說，地球上任何一個自重的國家都不應該接受。

The government is expected to announce more funding for the fight against HIV in its incoming budget.

政府預計將在其即將推出的預算中宣佈更多對抗 HIV 的資金。

It's also working with other donors fill the gap left by the US for communities here and across South Africa.

它也正與其他捐助者合作，填補美國留下的空缺，為這裡和南非各地的社群提供協助。
