China has 575,000 people with HIV/AIDS

Xinhua, December 1, 2015

Six out of every 10,000 people in China may be infected with HIV/AIDS, according to official figures revealed on Monday, the eve of World AIDS Day.

The number of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in China had hit 575,000 by the end of October, with 177,000 deaths, said the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC).

Describing the situation as a mild pandemic, the China CDC said men who have sex with men have become the group with the highest infection rate.

Around 8 percent of men who have sex with men in China are living with HIV/AIDS, according to 2015 statistics.

Sexual transmission is the main infection channel, with infection through heterosexual activities accounting for 66.6 percent of total cases, those through homosexual activities 27.2 percent, while mother-to-child and drug needle infection rates are low.

Infections among young people have become particularly noticeable, as 2,662 new cases of students living with HIV/AIDS were reported from January to October, a surge of 27.8 percent year on year, the China CDC said.

Some 97,000 new cases in total were reported in the period.

official figures in tiongland grossly under-report such cases or anything negative to their image. more like 5 million infected and soon to explode into tens of millions. every abalone sold on the open market is infected.

My favorite piak piak is a PRC. Wet, expressive and very sensitive towards me. Sometime when no piak piak, she ask me drive to her place and drink her home made soup. She says drinking soup is good for health and most importantly it enhances health and well being for male.

Other reason is that she wants me to piak piak her exclusively.

How many of these infected tiongs are already in sinkie land, screwing around to spread HIV/AIDs?

Do the pappies require compulsory health checks and HIV screening of all tiongs and other foreigners seeking permits to live and work in sinkie land? As sinkie land is a small country, HIV can spread fast and dramatically if not effectively controlled.

Sharp rise in number of HIV infections among young gay men in China

China has recorded an increase in the number of young people becoming infected with HIV, particularly young gay men.

About 14,200 cases were diagnosed in the first 10 months of this year among 15 to 24 year olds, according to Wu Zunyou, the director of the National Centre for Aids/STD Control and Prevention.

That is a 10 per cent increase over the same period last year.

Infection among students has been climbing sharply.

Although the total number of students with the virus is relatively small, the rate of infection has been rising by an average of 35 per cent over the past five years, according to Wu.

Some 2,662 students were reported as infected with HIV in the first 10 months of this year.

Some 82 per cent of the cases were men contracting the illness through gay sex.

“Although the absolute number is not that many, the increase is too fast,” said Wu.

About 65 per cent of student infections were among 18 to 20 year olds when they were in college.

“Young college students are particularly vulnerable because they are free from strict parental and school supervision in high school,” said Wu.

“Some gay men tend to find young students as sex partners. Also it’s also an example of HIV/Aids spreading to the campus when the infection among the general public is increasing.”

Wu said many infected students had some basic knowledge about Aids, but not enough to protect themselves.

“The best strategy is to prevent people getting Aids and sex education. Starting this the younger the better is particularly important,” said Wu.

The National Health and Family Planning Commission and the Ministry of Education requires six hours of sex education for all middle schools pupils and four hours for high school students, with a focus on HIV and Aids prevention.

Local health authorities are also required to inform schools of HIV/Aids cases while keeping the pupil’s identity anonymous.

Chen Zihuang, public welfare project manager at Danlan, a gay men social network, said 30 per cent of people who came to the organisation’s HIV /Aids examination centre last year were young men and many lacked awareness about how to protect themselves against infection.

Many young people do not associate the illness with wealthy, well-educated or strong, good-looking gay men and had unsafe sex, said Chen.

“We should emphasise high-risk behaviour rather than high-risk groups,” he said.

Chen echoed Wu’s appeal for greater promotion of sex education to ensure the message was clearly getting across.

Some college students have said they only attend sex education lectures to gain academic credits.
