The worldwide spread of AIDS has not forgotten China. But the Chinese government needs to step up the efforts to provide education about prevention and the importance of adhering to drug therapy.
Reuters recently reported that AIDS was first introduced to the country mostly to poor farmers through botched blood-selling schemes in the 1980s and 1990s. This quickly spread to intravenous drug abusers and high-risk groups. According to a recent report, there are 190 new HIV cases every day, and 1 percent of all pregnant women in China are HIV positive.

Good topic, Angie! Fasinating!
Oh my god. Well, I guess China, Africa, and other nations have adopted the Ronald Reagan policy - let people die.
Might as well Jim, they are overpopulated as it is.
What happened to our riveting discussion on AIDs in China?
I think it was Hank who said one time that there was no problem with AIDS in China, because the people had higher morals. I’m I right, Hank?I guess we’re all just human no matter what country we live in.
Think of what a great place the world would have been if people like you weren’t allowed to breed.
Don’t worry, I won’t comment on this one.
