Guangdong Province, Yangcheng Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
There was no one in the clinic.
Han Rong sat boredly in front of the window and yawned widely.
Since the implementation of the HIV Elimination Program, fewer and fewer HIV-infected people have come to the CDC for testing.
In the past, there were at least dozens of people coming for inspection every day, but now there are no people around, and no one can be seen for several days in a row.
It is said that the higher authorities are already planning to close the AIDS departments of some county CDCs.
It stands to reason that when employees encounter a situation where business is shrinking and their prospects are bleak, they must feel very sad.
But Han Rong was happy from the bottom of his heart.
He has seen too many miserable patients, especially some poor people who were infected unintentionally. He hopes that as few people as possible have this disease.
The best thing is to make HIV completely disappear from this world.
God seemed to hear his voice.
On this day, not long after he went to work, he learned some good news.
"What? There is already a cure for AIDS?"
Han Rong stood up suddenly, with an expression of surprise and joy on his face.
“And you’ve started clinical trials?”
"That's right, the leader asked us to select some eligible patients starting today and call them to go to the infectious disease hospital to participate in the Phase III clinical trial." The colleague who told him the news also looked happy at this moment.
"That's great." Han Rong sat back down and turned on the computer: "By the way, what are the conditions to participate in clinical trials."
"Here, here is the notice. It is clearly written on it." The colleague took out the document and read it.
"Priority will be given to patients with poor physical conditions such as women, children, the elderly, as well as vulnerable groups such as poor households and migrant workers, as well as patients in the middle and late stages of illness who have been ill for more than five years."
"Just follow this requirement and look for it in the registered list. Currently, clinical trials are only conducted in big cities. We in Yangcheng have been allocated 800 places, so we must tell them the good news quickly."
"Yes, I understand." Han Rong nodded. He almost immediately thought of Ding Xiaomei and some patients who impressed him deeply.
These patients are basically vulnerable groups such as the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the poor. He will mark them when he encounters them. When there are more people, he will have a special list. When he usually calls to follow up for abortion, he will talk about daily life and learn more. The other party’s basic situation.
It may be that these patients usually have a difficult life, so when they meet a warm-hearted doctor like him, they are willing to chat with him for a while.
Over time, he knew all the people on the list well. To him, these people were not cold data on the list, but old friends who were sick.
Now that there was hope of curing AIDS, he happily picked up the phone and called the people on the list as soon as possible.
"Hey, Ding Xiaomei, I have good news for you. There is a cure for AIDS. If you have nothing to do today, go to the infectious disease hospital to participate in the clinical trial. Yes, as soon as possible."
"Hey, Uncle Ding, I have good news for you..."
Han Rong kept dialing the phone to notify patients who met the conditions one by one.
When the patients on the other end of the phone learned the news, they were all ecstatic, and some even cried on the spot.
…
For the first time, Han Rong had the illusion that he was a happy boy.
You know, in the past, he always delivered the bad news of HIV positivity, but now he has completely reversed it.
The same patients were crying, one was crying with joy and the other was filled with grief. There was no doubt that the former made him more happy and satisfied.
Another colleague is also busy in front of the computer.
In order to improve efficiency, every time 10 eligible patients are found, they must be notified by phone first.
Make sure the other party participates before moving on to the next one.
There are 800 places, and the workload is not small. It will take several days to notify everyone one by one.
However, both of them were very excited at the moment and did not feel tired at all. They kept calling the phones in their hands, for fear that the other party would know the good news one second later.
In this way, it took the two of them three full days to notify everyone.
The patient burst into tears of gratitude and rushed to the hospital quickly.
Han Rong breathed a sigh of relief. His workload in the past few days was as much as that of the previous week.
Although I feel a little tired, I can successfully complete the task and feel only endless joy in my heart.
Suddenly, the landline on the table rang.
Han Rong reached out and picked it up: "This is the AIDS Prevention Department of the Yangcheng Center for Disease Control and Prevention. What can I do for you?"
Only a man's voice was heard asking: "I heard that Sanqing has developed a new drug that can cure AIDS and has begun clinical trials. Is this true?"
Who is this? He speaks harshly and has no manners at all. Han Rong thought to himself and said, "Yes, this is the case."
The other party's tone changed instantly, and he cursed angrily: "Why didn't you notify me to participate in the clinical trial? My ex-wife, that bitch, can go, why can't I go?"
Han Rong was immediately filled with questions and answered cautiously: "You must meet certain requirements before you can participate in this clinical trial. The rules are also set by the Sanqing Group and are not ours to make the decision."
"Can you please leave your name and phone number? We will keep an eye on it for you, and you can participate if you meet the conditions."
The man snorted and said after a while: "Okay, I'm Li xx, phone number is 13xxxxxxxxx."
When Han Rong heard this name, he immediately remembered an impressive thing. A few months ago, he notified this man named Li to come to collect the report. As a result, the other party blocked him and deliberately concealed his illness for the purpose of getting married.
At this moment, recalling the word "ex-wife" mentioned in the conversation, his scalp suddenly went numb.
After the man reported his number, he threatened fiercely: "If you don't notify me to participate in a clinical trial after a while, then just wait, I will definitely come to settle the score with you. Hmph!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang.
Han Rong was furious and made up his mind. Even if he was complained by this idiot, he would never let such a disgusting person participate in a clinical trial.
The colleague glanced at him and said in surprise: "Why do you look so ugly? Did you have a quarrel with someone?"
Han Rong had a gloomy face and recounted the phone call just now.
A trace of anger flashed across the colleague's face, and he said coldly: "I know this person. I was in charge of this person at the beginning. When he first came here, he was gibbering. He scolded us for having too many rules and filling out the form in too much detail. He also insisted on Refuse to show ID card.”
…
"Later, with my persistence, I finally completed the examination as required. Later, he hung up on me several times during follow-up visits. It wasn't until the news about the HIV elimination plan came out and I texted him that it would be illegal if he didn't cooperate, that he would answer the phone. "
"But it was a little too late at this time. His wife had already been infected. She went to the hospital when she fell ill and discovered the abnormality. Then she was so angry that she divorced him. She also took him to court and sued him for deliberately concealing the claim for compensation. Anyway, it made him miserable afterwards. of."
There was a gloating smile on the colleague's face: "These were all told to me by his wife, oh no, his ex-wife. Anyway, my ex-wife was quite straightforward. After she found out that she was infected, she came directly to the CDC. I was the one who received her. I talked a lot.”
"Because she is a woman who was accidentally infected and meets the conditions this time. I just informed her to participate in a clinical trial a few days ago, and then this man probably found out about it, so I called to harass her."
"Haha, he deserves it! Even if he is complained, I will never let this person participate in a clinical trial."
The two said in unison, looking at each other and smiling.
Han Rong was a little worried and said, "What if this person comes to make trouble?"
The colleague shook his head and said with a look of disdain: "This guy is just a bully. He only knows how to bluff people. As soon as his wife sued, he immediately knelt down and begged for peace. It was so disgusting. His face was disgusting."
Han Rong was relieved.
In the next period of time, Mr. Li disappeared completely and there was no news at all.
Two weeks later, Han Rong was playing Minesweeper on the computer.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded again.
"Dr. Han, I'm here to thank you."
When he looked up, he saw that it was Ding Xiaomei whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She had become much rounder, her face had color, and she looked full of energy.
Han Rong ran out in surprise: "Why are you here? How do you feel now?"
Ding Xiaomei's behavior is still a little restrained, but her expression has become much more cheerful, and the gloom between her eyebrows has also disappeared.
"I just finished participating in the clinical trial, and the doctor said that I have been cured and restored to health. I thought I must come to thank you and report the latest situation."
Her eyes were a little wet, and she said with a smile: "Thanks to this experiment, my son was tested after he was born and was not infected. Now even I am cured. It is really blessed by God."
"This Sanqing Group is simply a living Bodhisattva. It has cured so many people. When I go back, I will definitely offer a memorial tablet to Mr. Wei and offer him incense every day."
Han Rong immediately couldn't laugh or cry, and said quickly: "This is the result of the development of science and technology. It has nothing to do with Bodhisattva or anything like that. You don't need to make any tablets. This is all feudal superstition."
Ding Xiaomei nodded confusedly: "Okay, doctor, you have said so, I will not offer the memorial tablet at home, this tablet," she patted her chest: "I will keep it in my heart and I will remember it for the rest of my life."
"Add me one."
"Yes, count me in."
"I will also keep Mr. Wei in my heart for the rest of my life."
Suddenly, several excited voices came from behind.
Han Rong turned around and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, with dark skin and a red face walking over.
…
Behind him were a dozen people, all of whom looked very familiar.
Han Rong quickly remembered that these were all people who participated in the clinical trial. The treatment effect must have been very good, so he came to thank him immediately after being discharged from the hospital.
He couldn't help but grin, stood up and went to meet him.
"Congratulations, congratulations. Seeing that you are all back to health is really the happiest thing I have ever done at work."

The Phase III clinical trials of HIV genetic agents were successful and received a huge response.
Since no HIV virus has been found in the bodies of the first group of people who tested the drug for five months, everyone thought that their AIDS had been cured.
Next, as long as you continue to observe, until there is no recurrence after one year, that will be the final conclusion.
At this point, there is no suspense about the launch of genetic medicines.
Director Han quickly launched the HIV Elimination Plan 2.0 in batches.
Priority should be given to treating vulnerable groups such as the elderly, women and children. Of course, those who have money but can't wait can also pay for treatment at their own expense, but the price will be more expensive, with one injection costing tens of thousands of yuan, and if there is no way out, it may not be possible to buy it.
In the past, many people deliberately concealed their illness and spread the HIV virus everywhere, causing extremely bad consequences.
Therefore, when the production of genetic drugs is limited, pharmaceutical companies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention give priority to those poor people who are accidentally infected, and those who spread the disease maliciously are ranked last.
This rule was proposed by Sanqing. As the only drug provider, the CDC can only actively cooperate.
At least this reason was reasonable, so Director Han could only hold his nose and admit it.
These malicious propagandists can be regarded as receiving their due retribution.
You know, there are more than 1 million people in the country, and it will be at least several months before their turn comes.
While waiting, they could only eat free Duanailing and were monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at all times.
In fact, logically speaking, they are not miserable, but sometimes people are afraid of comparison, watching other patients happily receive the medicine and recover early after one injection.
And they had to take medicine every day and take the initiative to report their situation, and all of them suddenly regretted it.

Overseas clinical trials have also gone very smoothly, and the rich and famous people in the West who have fallen ill have recovered quickly.
The relapse of the HIV virus in the body was not detected for several months.
They immediately praised Sanqing.
Since the rise of Sanqing, various terminal diseases have been continuously overcome. Although the price is high, it is not a problem at all for these rich and famous people.
Instead, it allows them to get new drugs faster.
It can be said that the biggest beneficiaries of these new drugs from Sanqing overseas are the rich and famous.
In the past, even if they had money, they could not buy medicine that could cure their illness. Now, as long as they have money, they can at least buy Sanqing medicine to save his life.
They can still tell which one is light and which is serious.
This has also brought the reputation of Sanqing to a new peak in the minds of overseas wealthy people.
The biggest worry for these rich and famous people now is not about disease, but about aging itself.
They were all afraid that they would be taken away by death before Sanqing could develop a new treatment drug.
Not long after, the media in Eagle Country released news, claiming that AIDS had become the second infectious disease that was about to be eliminated.
The first is smallpox, which has disappeared for a long time. Except for the remaining samples in some pharmaceutical company laboratories, it is basically no longer found in the world.
Judging from current trends, the HIV virus, nearly half a century after its introduction, will soon be wiped off the face of the earth.
In the near future, together with smallpox, hepatitis C, plague, cholera and other infectious viruses that once swept the earth and wreaked havoc, they will be collected into museums and listed on the entire collection wall.
