Hong Kong’s Centre for Health Protection (CHP) has released its HIV and AIDS statistics for 2015.
The numbers show a total of 725 new HIV infections, of which 110 of those developing into AIDS. In 2014 there were 651 new cases.
The vast majority of new cases were transmitted by sexual intercourse. 14 newly reported cases were due to drug injection and two through perinatal transmission.
The Centre also reported that half of the cases were acquired through same-sex intercourse and that most patients were young gay men.
CHP consultant Dr. Wong Ka-Hing suggested that unsafe sex remains the major risk factor for new HIV cases.
The higher numbers could be attributed to a heightened awareness of the disease with more people getting tested.

Less finger pointing on the blame game!
Get in a positive frame of mind and help look for improved ways to education and enlighten people on the prevention of HIV and AIDS. Get PRO-Active instead of PRO-Negative on this issue.
No one is blaming any particular group of people. It is a global epidemic and should be on the top of the CDC list to be eradicated. With the help of all health agencies and governments pitching in to do their part to meet this goal, we could see in our lifetimes this horrific virus gone or soon to be gone.
Blame game? Why not? Because you are one of those who goes to Asia screwing around (your nick says it )? Too close to home? You are in Thailand, hmmm, you are there for the scenery? NOT!
Prevention?? Simple , stop screwing around.
Thank you Moostro.
