More than 820,000 people had AIDS or were HIV-positive at the end of June, up by 100,000 from the year previous,,,.
More than 40,000 new HIV/AIDS cases were reported in the second quarter alone in China, with 93.1 percent having contracted the virus through sex.
China has experienced scandals related to HIV transfusion through blood transfusions in the past, the number of HIV infections by blood transfusions has "essentially been reduced to zero", according to Xinhua.
In the 1990s, rural parts of China - particularly the central province of Henan - endured the country's most debilitating AIDS epidemic. It stemmed from a tainted government-backed blood donation programme and infected tens of thousands of people, including entire villages.
the article ignores the story of HIV via illicit drug use.
After nearly three decades of being virtually drug free, use of heroin and other illicit drugs has re-emerged in China as a major public health problem. One result is that drug abuse, particularly heroin injection, has come to play a predominant role in fueling China's AIDS epidemic.
The first outbreak of HIV among China's IDUs was reported in the border area of Yunnan province between China and Myanmar where drug trafficking is heavy. Since then drug-related HIV has spread to all 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.
and of course, all the do gooders go on to blame the "Criminalization" of drug use that "marginalizes" people who inject drugs.
sounds like Soros' "open society" is being sucessful, since one of their aims is to legalize ALL drugs.
