28,000 die of HIV/AIDS in China 2011
Updated: 2012-01-21 (Xinhua)
BEIJING - A total of 28,000 people died of HIV/AIDS in China
in 2011, and another 48,000 in the country were found newly
infected by the virus, according to an official publication on
Saturday.
The report on the epidemic situation of HIV/AIDS in China,
which was jointly produced by China's Ministry of Health, the
Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS and the World
Health Organization, said that the number of people living with
HIV/AIDS increased by 40,000 in two years from 2009, although
cases of new infections remained at a low level.
With about 780,000 people living with HIV/AIDS nationwide,
including 154,000 AIDS patients, the total infection rate of the
country stands at 0.058 percent, the report said.
The major reasons for the rise of the number of AIDS patients
on record are the government's increasing efforts in prevention
and intervention of the disease, which helped reduce deaths out
of the patients, as well as some long-infected HIV carriers
showing symptoms, said the report.
The report added that more than 136,000 AIDS patients had
received anti-virus treatments by September 2011, bringing the
treatment coverage rate to 73.5 percent, an increase of 11.5
percentage points compared to 2009.
The epidemic situation of HIV/AIDS is showing some new
trends, as imported and sexually-transmitted cases keep
increasing, according to the report.
It called for expanding the checking range in relevant groups, further strengthening the treatment of people with HIV/AIDS, as
well as expanding the coverage of health education and reducing
social discrimination.
