台北市長蔣萬安、民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋近期因「毒品」議題交鋒,更出現「藥癮愛滋減害計畫」與「鼓勵吸毒」直接畫上等號的說法,甚至將清潔針具服務描述為政府鼓勵藥物使用的政策;紅絲帶基金會今發布聲明強調,公共政策可以被檢驗,也可以被批評,但不應為了政治攻防而刻意簡化甚至扭曲政策內容。

紅絲帶基金會今天在臉書發布聲明稿,以「勿讓選舉攻防抹煞台灣愛滋減害政策的公衛價值」為標題強調,公共政策可以被檢驗,也可以被批評,但不應為了政治攻防而刻意簡化甚至扭曲政策內容。其中清潔針具交換計畫並不是鼓勵民眾開始使用毒品,而是針對既存的注射行為,降低共用針具可能造成的血液傳染疾病風險。

前衛生署疾病管制局副局長林頂、也是紅絲帶基金會的顧問,曾全程參與並積極推動「減害計畫」。他表示,愛滋防治應建立在對疾病的正確認知、瞭解流行的現況、對感染者健康及大眾利益的保障之上,採用實證有效的方法解決社會問題,有而非透過泛道德的譴責、排斥或懲罰來處理疫情,卻無法解決真正的問題。

紅絲帶基金會說明,2005年台灣新增通報的HIV(愛滋病毒)感染個案共有3378人,其中注射藥癮者佔了2426人,高達總個案數的72%;而到了2020年,注射藥癮感染者已降至22人,占當年新增感染者約1.6%。從72%下降至1.6%,這是台灣HIV流行病學結構極為顯著的改變,減害計畫同時包含清潔針具交換、美沙冬替代治療、衛生教育、篩檢及與跨部門合作等多項介入。

紅絲帶基金會指出,「減害」與「反毒」從來不是互相排斥的兩種政策,而是處理不同階段的問題。減害政策的重要性,是處理在高風險行為尚未完全消失時,如何降低其造成的感染、疾病與死亡,同時亦可遏止社區的擴大傳播。

紅絲帶基金會呼籲,所有討論都應回到數據與實證,而非利用污名與恐懼製造政治攻防。20年前,台灣用清潔針具與整合性減害政策回應HIV及海洛因毒癮兩大疫情,20年後,我們更應該守住這段公共衛生寶貴經驗,而不是讓選舉的短期攻防,抹煞台灣多年來為愛滋防治、海洛因藥癮防制所累積的成果與社會代價。

Open Questions

  • 蔣萬安與沈伯洋後續是否會針對減害政策進行政策辯論?
