Beijing reports a death from AIDS
ChinaView.cn, Aug. 25, 2006 - An AIDS sufferer died
in Beijing last week, the Beijing Health Bureau confirmed Friday.
Statistics from the bureau show that Beijing has 3,142 HIV carriers
and AIDS patients in its 18 districts and counties, 313 of whom are
cases discovered in the first
six months of the year. The number of people living
with HIV/AIDS in the Chinese capital has grown by an average of 40.6
percent each year since 1998, according to Guan Baoying, deputy
director of the bureau's Disease Prevention and Control Department.
The deadly virus which first spread among drug abusers, sex workers
and homosexuals is now appearing in the general population, Guan said.
Most of the HIV carriers and AIDS patients in Beijing are aged between
20 and 49, the official said. Guan said that 36.7 percent of people
living with HIV and AIDS are drug abusers, 34 percent were infected
through sexual contact and the others contracted the disease through
blood transfusions and other causes. Earlier in March this year, the
Beijing Health Bureau instructed all hotels -- nearly 5,000 in the
city -- to place condoms in their rooms. However, only 60 hotels
graded three- or five-star have done so, Guan said. In addition, the
city is planning to open six methadone clinics this year to help drug
abusers drop their habit and in a bid to curb the spread of HIV, the
official said. By the end of 2005, there were more than 140,000 people
infected with HIV in China. Officials and experts estimate that China
has approximately 650,000 people living with HIV, including
approximately 75,000 AIDS patients. Worldwide, total HIV infections
had exceeded 40 million and more than 30 million AIDS patients had
died by the end of 2005, according to figures released by the World
Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint United Nations Programme on
HIV/AIDS.
