Sexual contact source of 90% of HIV/AIDS cases
Print Edition
Ninety percent of newly reported HIV/AIDS patients in China over the past 10 years were infected through sexual contact, a disease prevention official said yesterday.
According to Wu Zunyou, director of the HIV/AIDS division of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 70 percent of new cases reported by June resulted from heterosexual sex, and 20 percent from homosexual sex.
Wu revealed the information during an online interview hosted by the National Health and Family Planning Commission.
The official noted that some 230,000 HIV/AIDS patients have received antiviral treatments since 2004.
Wu cited policies and campaigns by the government and LGBT groups as playing key roles in promoting safe sex and HIV/AIDS treatments.
With an estimated 48,000 to 50,000 new HIV/AIDS infections every year, Wu said the government aims to reduce new infections by 25 percent and HIV/AIDS mortality by 30 percent by the end of 2015.
